Ford’s current 8.8 rearend is about as good as it gets today for a factory live axle, but with all the turbo, nitrous, and blower systems available for current-gen Mustangs, it’s not all that hard to find the upper limits of its torque handling capacity. Currie has the answer for high-horsepower S197’s in their “crate rearend” program that delivers a true bolt-in 9-inch style rear with a slew of custom options, without the wait for a full custom axle. Check out this video from Currie that shows just how easy it is to have the ultimate ’05-up Mustang rearend with no fabrication required:
- Fits all the stock suspension mounting points
- Compatible with stock brakes and ABS hardware
- 31-spline axles
- Gear ratios from 3.00-4.86:1 available
- Lots of differential options – Open, Track Lock, True Trac, Detroit Locker, ARB Locker, or spool
