im going to be doing gears... and i figure while im down there, i can rebuild the traction-lok... i saw this, and wonder if its worth it... i think the only difference between the regular rebuild kit price wise is $50 or so...

any thoughts?

maybe ask around in the Fox or 96+ section

I might rebuild mine too.. along with switching back to stock gears

Im pretty sure you need 31 spline axles due to the fact that they are for 03 04 cobras and thats what they come with.

"Fits all 8.8" Traction-Lok differentials"

I used teh regular ones from Ford Racing and they worked fine.

I have used them to rebuild an 8.8 in a 5.0 so yea they work. Advantage is they are supposed to be able to hold up to 700hp because well thats what the terminators are putting out on those same clutches which are stock in their rear. And the spline difference doesnt matter remember the splines dont ride on the clutches the clutches just put pressure against the spider gears to keep both wheles locked. To tell you the truth though I think you are just as good using the stock T-lok rebuild and just packing in some extra clutches.

Yea thats what gets most people, "Whoohoo Carbon fiber" Pshh w/e is what I say, lol. And yes your stock axles will work fine, remember the clutches just sit there to put pressure against the spider gears dont have anything to do with contacting the axles.

Considering the price of the kit Id do it, just one less thing to worry about.
