Wow that thing is awful. No safety whatsoever

 

Morning

 

can't beat that

 

OTOH an explorer or ranger 8.8 is within an inch or two of the stock axle width, has the same perch location, same lug pattern, and gets you disk brakes with a mechanical parking brake option. The only welding that needs to be done is for the shock mounts.

The 5 lugs use the Toyota 7.5" diff in the rear which could survive 33s. I would say it's pushing it if he's got a camper shell full of gear though.

For a rig on 35s or under a stock 9" is plenty. The differential itself will survive 37s-40s depending on what it's under but you make the housing and shafts the weak point at that size. With a fabbed housing you can run the 9" center and 35+ spline shafts with the outers of your choice to make it strong.
