The rear axles are a problem!
Because I live in a log cabin in the bush near “resume speed” British Columbia the availability of used parts is not great and even the listings on eBay are scarce for axles for the 8.25 diff. The only ones accessible are new and with the dollar exchange is very pricy. The DORMAN 630406 is a good price but is on factory backorder.


I really hate to say this, but we are installing 8.8 Ford rear axles from Explorers in what we are building these days. They use 5 on 4 1/2" bolt pattern wheels. Most come with 3:55 or 3:73 gears, a Limited slip is pretty common, they are pretty easy to find with rear disc brakes, and the are tough, and cheap around here. You can buy the driveshaft flange mount that uses the small standard Mopar u joint.

If you want to stick with Mopars, I hear the Jeep Grand Cherokee rear ends fit well. Gene
