I'm looking around for a company that can build me an 8.8 rear end with like 4.7 gears and a spool/spider gears. My current rear end is bent and the c clips sketch me out

Anyone got recommendations?

Maybe look at Winters Performance? They do rear ends and I've seen a lot of pros running theirs. Also, Strange custom builds rear ends as well.

I believe the next gear ratio up from 4.56 is a 4.88 so you will have to choose between the two. Why a 4.70?

Do you want a locker rear end or a spool? Or the brand Detroit Locker?

There was a small batch of 4.71 gears made for the 8.8 rear, I think for the NMRA coyote stock class. Looks like they're available to the masses...

Haha, nice find, but this little disclaimer would steer me in another direction.

These gears can also be used in some Drag Race cars depending on weight & power
If tooth breakage occurs, then Pro Gears or a larger rear end will become necessary

I figured 4.7 would be the next step but 4.8 would probably be great maybe even better

According to his earlier posts, he's a drifter ...

Oh, that's kinda cool. Since this guy is in my town I'm gonna have to check out his build.

Outlaw, send me a PM if you wanna hook up so I can check out your build.
