8.8 swap yj style-soa - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

yj93ben · 07-30-2011, 08:08 PM

Looking for any heplful info on the Swap(8.8) SOA. Right now I'm in the gathering mode. So far, I have Yukon Ring & Pinion(4.56), Master overhaul kit, RD81 ARB air locker, Brake line and cables, Upper shock relocation mount, lower weld-on shock mount and CUT throat 4X4 Spring perches. Got to tell those perches were the only ones I found that are a direct fit. Oh, I have the rear axle assembly from a 2000 Explorer, also.

Anyhow, I'm real interested in pinion angles. I have a 93 YJ 2.5L 5 speed with NP231 w/SYE kit installed. SOA suspension system. Stock 5 leaf leaf spring. And 0" lift shackles.

Someone want to help a brother out.

I'll post pix of the build as soon as I have enough post.

How many post do you have to have to be an ASSHOLE? I'm guessing at least 392. Am I close?

All of you.

No... once you figure out that this belongs in NON-hardcore then maybe you'll understand why you're getting these responses

Have a nice day

And this has to be one of the most asked questions on YJ axle swaps.

Search is your friend.

I am not your brother. Could be a friend but never a brother.

do yourself a favor and delete this thread. you should have never posted this in hardcore. their is a newbie forum for such things. dont get mad for the flames, this was your fault. and lastly, have you heard of fucking google? wtf this has been done a million times, there is no reason to ever ask anything about putting an 8.8 in a jeep.

Cheepin · 07-31-2011, 05:40 PM

Search this is one of the most popular axle swaps for YJs.Right up there with putting a 350 in everything.

mechanicalmongoose20 · 07-31-2011, 08:02 PM

Just swapped one of these in a customers YJ with the exact same set-up. Boringly easy. Hope you can weld.

But I didnt even see a real question in there. Your interested in pinion angles huh? How do you feel about frilly toothpicks?

92 Green YJ · 07-31-2011, 10:52 PM

in before the move to non hardcore.

And aren't you getting enough answers to this on Jeep Forums? keep it over there with the newb stuff where it belongs. This is not JF or JU. those forums are for the nanny boys like you asking dumb shite like this
