Product Description

The Yukon YP MINSF8.8-31 mini spool is engineered for Ford 8.8" rear axles with 31-spline axles, delivering a fully locked differential for maximum traction in drag racing, off-road, or dedicated competition builds. By replacing the factory spider gears with a solid steel unit, this mini spool ensures both rear wheels rotate together for improved launch and traction performance.

Manufactured from premium 8620 billet steel and heat-treated for strength, the YP MINSF8.8-31 installs directly into a standard open carrier without modification. This part is intended for non-C-clip axles and is not recommended for daily street use due to its locked differential behavior. For racers and off-road enthusiasts seeking consistent traction and strength, it's a proven upgrade solution.
