I have an '85 GT with the '86-'93 8.8" rear axle.

I need a pair of 5 lug axle shafts.

When I look at what there is available, there are different axle spline counts and I dont know which one I should be buying.

Can someone help me with this please.

stock axles are 28 spline. you would want those unless you want to upgrade the diff too. If its just a street car and doing the 5 lug for the look & better wheel selection, I would do the junkyard ranger axles. If more power is in your future, you might want to go ahead and upgrade everything to 31 spline. Im no expert but, I hope that helps.
