88 was when they started using roller lifters in some engines. Is that a 302 V8 ? Also suspect that is a dual roller timing chain.

I know I sound like an idiot, but I'm not a car person, at all - other than "ohhhh, I like the look of that!", so I'd literally have to look at paperwork to check the engine size, but I think 302 is correct. My first Bronco, a 1983, was a 351 and I'm pretty sure that when I ordered the '88 it was 'smaller' because I remember hoping it would get better gas mileage. I don't know about any of it, just what I've been told, for whatever that's worth. I remember having a new radiator put in back in 2002? 2003? and the guy at the repair shop was all excited to see the engine - he went on and on about the differences because mine was a Mustang engine. Out of all the stuff I heard, about the only thing I remember was 'dual drive chain", and I could even have that wrong. And I've heard other's comment about something to do with something being 'rolled' - and I have absolutely zero clue what any of it means. LOL

Look at the emissions label under the hood. 302 is roughly equivalent to 5.0 Liters.

351 is about 5.7 Liters.

Default Getting back on topic, I use "Ultra" Trailer wheel 062.

Wheel requirements for my non-standard 2619 are 15x6", 6 bolts on 5.5". This is my wheel - they're cheap, look good, come with zero offset, and they're each rated for 2830 lbs: http://www.ultrawheel.com/wheel/94/062-trailer/. I have no idea if your axle hub is the same. But for me, these particular wheels also create a safety advantage for the Dexter axle: The Dexter "grease cap" hubcap is held down tight within the "Ultra" hubcap. That prevents it from getting knocked of by a rock, allowing axle grease to spew all over (and possible freezing your bearings).
