New 4.10 gears in my Ford 8.8 rear axle. What do you think of these patterns?

they look decent. I would run it.

Thanks, Aaron, I will! Pinion bearing preload was a huge pain--the yoke was bottoming out on the pinion threads before it was even engaging the crush sleeve. I had to make a 3/16" thick washer to put between the yoke and the oil slinger. Ended up using a crush sleeve eliminator kit too.

yea the crush sleeve eliminators are really made for the ford 9" but they r sold for the 8.8 too but they dont really work. Custom is fine if it works.
