I have this 91 bronco with an 8.8 that would work out to be free for me
I wa thinking of swaping the 8.8 into my cherokee
now the cherokee is 59 wms I think
and the 8.8 is 66 wms
I was wondring what backspace would help to bring the tires closer to a wms of 60
also has anyone done this

Im also looking at the driveline which is a double cardon
big U joints
any chance I coudl hook this up to sye in a np 231 ?

check at www.naxja.com there is a guy doing the same thing, that being said why bother. for the same problems (wrong Bolt pattern and diffrent width) you could go with a 60 or 9" or you could hunt down a newer 8.8 from a explorer to use for the swap (right bolt pattern and disk brakes
