Rearend Narrowing Kit - 8.8" inch Ford - 2.535" & 2.25" ends

Description: Here we have the tools needed to hold a stock 8.8" Ford rearend housing in alignment when you are narrowing, assembling or changing the width. Included are..... One pair of housing end bushings or rings that fit both the 8.8" Ford pick-up housing ends that use the 2.535" o.d. bearing (R1559TV) or the 8.8" Ford Car housing ends that use the 2.25" o.d. bearings. (R1563TAV) ( It is up to you to verify which bearing size you have. Ford had some odd-ball bearings that were both larger and smaller than these.)(R1559 and R1563 are repair bearings for this application. They show a larger o.d. because they fit where the seal is normally) One pair of lock rings to hold the above bushings in place on the shaft. And one pair of bushings or rings that would fit in the 8.8" Ford differential case that measures 3.062". These bushings fit where the differential bearings would normally be. (LM603012) All three are designed to be used with a 1 1/4" o.d. alignment shaft and the bushings are machined from 6061 aluminum right here in good old Missouri. 6061 aluminum is the material of choice for Dart aluminum engine blocks, Aeroquip AN fittings, aluminum racing flywheels, OHC camshaft sprockets, etc. These are just bushings and will see no wear or abuse and should last a lifetime. The 1 1/4" shaft IS NOT included in this listing. Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Due to the high shipping cost of a solid steel bar five feet long , we suggest you source the alignment bar locally or online. Most people use a 1 1/4" o.d. 1018 solid steel cold rolled shaft 60" – 72” in length. The common bar diameter of 1018 cold rolled steel is 1.248” and works well. The industry standard for 1018 round bar is .002” smaller than the stated diameter. Chrome Moly, Stainless Steel and tubing may be larger than the 1.248" required. SpeedyMetals, OnlineMetals and DiscountSteel are a good source for the bar although you should be able to source it from a local welding or steel shop. Obviously the shaft needs to be straight, not rusty and the proper length for your project. Lightly lubricate the bar with oil.
