Yukon Gear Ultimate 88 Axle Kit 95-02 Explorer / 4340 Chrome-Moly (Double Drilled Axles)

When you're ready to upgrade the rear axle on your 1995-2001 Ford Explorer, this Yukon Gear Ultimate 88 Axle Kit gives you everything you need to get the job done. This kit replaces your factory axles with stronger, more durable components designed to handle increased power and stress. It's a complete package that includes the new 4340 chromoly axles, along with the necessary axle bearings and seals, and all the hardware required for installation. This means you can tackle the job with confidence, knowing you have all the essential parts in one box.

The axles themselves are constructed from high-tensile strength 4340 chromoly steel, a well-known material for its toughness and resistance to fatigue, especially under demanding conditions. Yukon uses superior production methods, including cold-roll formed splines which are stronger than cut splines, and advanced induction coil heat treating. This process creates a more durable axle that's built to last. A notable feature is that these axles are double-drilled, accommodating both the 5 x 4.5 inch and 5 x 5.5 inch bolt patterns, offering flexibility for different wheel setups. This kit also eliminates the factory C-clips, which are a common failure point in stock Ford 8.8-inch differentials, making this a significant improvement for reliability.

This kit is specifically designed for the Ford 8.8-inch differential found in your Explorer. By upgrading to these Ultimate 88 axles, you're not just replacing worn parts; you're enhancing the overall strength and capability of your rear axle assembly. This is a solid option if you're looking to add more power to your Explorer or simply want the peace of mind that comes with a well-built, heavy-duty drivetrain component.
