Looking for series axle upgrades / rock sliders / roll bars

#1 Post by Trygve » Wed Feb 05, 2025 8:00 am

Looking for axle upgrades of all kinds for a series II 88” currently stock 10 spline. Could be anything…diffs, lockers, 24 spline conversion stuff, entire axles - Salisbury, Dana 44? Dana 60? Toyota? Preferably don’t want to go as wide as disco axles. Send me a pm if you have anything sitting around.

Also looking for a set of rock sliders.

Also looking for a roll bar for an 88”. Could be for truck cab or hardtop.

Feel free to send me a message.

Location? Also if you don't want to go as wide as disco axles ( which are not that wide) then you just eliminated 90% of the axles you just named. Most of those axles/diffs are wider than disco axles or similar.

Good point. Was going off bad info. Disco is actually quite narrow compared to some. Honestly don’t know the direction I want to go yet with the axle upgrades just seeing if someone had something they had destined for a project that never happened. I’m hesitant to go with British because it all seems quite expensive and rare here in North America still. May be more interested in an American conversion of sorts. To tell you the truth I barely know what I’m looking for but putting out feelers. I only know a bit about the shaft offset needing to be close, diff ratios need to be considered, replace the spring mounts. Ideally would love to find some 24 spline conversion parts for the original axle but I’m sure it’s one in a million. More was curious if someone had something laying around that they figured would work for a stronger axle in a series but never ended up using.

Located on the west coast near Vancouver/victoria.

These shafts and whatever diff you want.

Don’t do Disco axles. They are worse than Series axles.
