8.8 rear for my YJ
« on: September 12, 2010, 08:22:42 PM »
Before I start this project I will ask if anyone may already have this available.
Going from the standard D-35 I'm going to an 8.8 w/4.10 gears/disk brakes..you know the drill.
If you have one ready to go let me know.
Thanks, Dan

Sounds good other than the 4.88s......
Don't know how easy it would be to just get gears to swap.......

A friend of mine gave me an extra axle, 35 again so I just swapped the old ones for new ones.
I am going to go down to 33s and put my 35s under my Blazer then sell the Jeep...I can't believe I'm doing this! {boohoo}
