FD Explorer 8.8 Diff Kit

[frijolee]

FYI, the stub axles are the same for the 02-05 generation as 06-10 so that may help you track down parts a little easier if you go used.

Ahh, great! I didn't know that. Thank you for your help!

frijolee, I just read your build thread, headers turned out nice, no easy feat. Very time consuming to say the least. Great job on your car. 

[frijolee]

Thanks!  The other two Ronin guys and I all meet through a predecessor of norotors so we're really enthusiasts first who happy to run a business as well.  I think that makes us the home team (or at least one of them).

Is there any confirmed good measurement for the driveshaft length for the t56 using a samberg kit and the ronin explorer 8.8 kit?

about to measure/order my DS and want to make sure i didn't mess anything up.

I have samberg front, ls2 and t56 from 06 gto, ronnin rear with 07 explorer diff

There are some pictures of my measurements on my website below. It was 37 13/16" If you order through driveshaftshop.com you can reference order# 55672 and tell them you want one like it. It was around $418.18 and turn around time was less than 2 weeks.

Steel ds? I did a 4 inch aluminum and it was considerably more expensive.

[fastfalcon94]

Yeah steel driveshaft, and that was the price shipped to my work (business address). It's such a short driveshaft I couldn't justify paying a lot more for something that wasn't a lot lighter. I do have a CF driveshaft on my 3000gt, but that is longer and it gets rid of joints.

Just wanted to update this, after getting my Ronin 8.8 kit installed with the t56 and samberg mount kit I also measured 37 13/16" between the trans and diff flange.

Ronin 8.8 kit installed with the t56 and samberg mount kit.

37 1/2 was my drive shaft measurement

I wonder why you are 5/16" shorter than bejbis and me.

[Skeltic]

can  this  be the  samberg  hindson  difference? Never  mind , I  reread and  you  all  had  made  it  perfectly  clear

[Donthitme]

I saw both your measurements, not sure why but I checked and rechecked. Even checked if the frame was mounted correctly. I will take some pics and post in a bit.
