: 8.8 swap stoneyxj 03-10-2002, 12:20 PM Hey i already did a search any couldn't find what i am looking for.:flipoff2: where can i find the perches, driveline conversion for my jeep for an 8.8? i just bought a brand new 8.8 w/disc for $605 but don't know where to find that stuff. -thanks Kent Po' riggity 03-10-2002, 12:46 PM Spring perches you should be able to find at any 4wd store, or Con-ferr makes them.. Thats where I got mine. And for the yoke adapter call Randy's ring and pinion, they sell them for 18.95 plus shipping, while M.O.R.E. charges 50 bucks plus shipping. Scott CaptainFleXJ151 03-10-2002, 03:20 PM M.O.R.E. sells a complete kit for teh 8.8" to be swapped into an XJ. Take a look at my pics. http://www.geocities.com/captainflexj151/8_8axle.html PIA 03-10-2002, 03:34 PM where did you get that axle!!?!?!? gixer 03-10-2002, 05:18 PM Randys does not have the adapter that bolts to the round flange. For 18 bucks they will sell you an adapter u-joint. I was looking for the Spicer part that bolts onto the round flange and called and asked for it. They sent me a u-joint. When I called back and asked for the correct part they said that it was a driveline part and they do not deal with driveline parts. What is a u-joint then??? Its attached to the drive shaft so wouldn’t that be a driveline part? Any way they tried to stick me with the u-joint and not give me my money back. That’s ok I called my credit card and got the credit and still have the u-joint. They have no idea what is going on. I explained every thing in English and gave them the Spicer # for what I wanted. Any way go some where else Randys has crapy customer service. There are others probably in your local area that you can get one. I did for 24 bucks.

Haven't measured it yet. that axle is narrower than an explorer 8.8" You'd need 2 of the same side ranger axle shafts s to convert it to 5 lug. I forget what side axle shaft but you can ask on www.corral.net stoneyxj 03-11-2002, 05:30 PM I got the axel off ebay a couple of weeks ago brand new disc brakes out of a 96 exploder $605 w/shipping.

I forget what side axle shaft but you can ask on www.corral.net Aerostar axles work too. It is the short side axles you need. | |
