    So say I just wanted six inches, what would I do if I already have a 3inch? And also my tires get ally he way up into the fender pretty easily so if I got like 3 more inches, it would give me more articulation. Either get new leaf springs @ 6" lift, Or use stock springs with a SOA. If your goal is 35" tires, You'll want at least 5-6" of lift imo. Would 35s fit with a 4.5inch plus I have bigger fender flares that took off about 2 inches of the body?

    Thanks and ya I don't want a lot of lift, I just want some good flex so I can go on some rougher terrain

    I'm just trying to learn so the hate isn't helping

    Thanks for a helpful answer

    What is yoke and a slip yoke eliminator. What do they do?

    I just don't wanna spend money on a 4.5 lift and then want a 6 inch soa 3 weeks later. If I have the axle out I'd just do it. I know it changes a lot and how it feels and stuff but this things handling sucks anyway and I don't drive much. Plus I'd probably have help from a friend who knows what he's doing
  16. Jackrabbit41
    I can't really find much for a 6inch soa. There's one from rocky road outfitters but it says it's for Dana 44, so if I did a 8.8 would it still work? I don't know a lot about soa kits. If anyone has any links to some stuff that'd be awesome

    What's a good 6inch lift?
  18. Jackrabbit41
    The things 59 1/2 inches wide too
  19. Jackrabbit41
    I found a 8.8 for 150$ but it's out of a 91 explorer. Would it work? The ring and pinion are bad but I can get some like new ones for 50$.
  20. Jackrabbit41
    If I did do this swap, should I just go with a soa? I don't want my ride and driving to change too much plus I'm a weekend wheeler and Also, would a 4.5 inch from rough country give me much more flex then my 3 inch? And I already have sway bar disconnects
  21. Jackrabbit41
    I have a 3 inch lift right now but I think I'm going to go to a 4.5 eventually. Also what is a abs block and what does it do? Thanks
  22. Jackrabbit41
    Pretty much. The 8.8 is a good choice, perhaps the strongest choice without going to 1-ton axles, it is just a little more expensive Many people find a kit like this helpful: http://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/catalog/88SS-31.html. You need spring perches, shock mounts, and u-bolts/plates as your current stuff is too narrow for the wider 8.8 tubes. There are others. There are a few options for connecting a jeep drive shaft to a 8.8, as well : http://www.ironrockoffroad.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=IR-SF88FAis one or http://www.mountainoffroad.com/_e/Ford_8_8_rear_axle_Install_Kit/product/221379/Yoke_for_Ford_8_8_into_Jeep_XJ_YJ_TJ.htm for another. Again these are just examples and there are other brands out there. You need spacers on the rear if you run any wider tire or they may rub. The 8.8 is right at an inch narrower ( so 1/2" each side. Some folks put longer studs in the 8.8 and run thin 5/8" "sandwich" spacers between the wheel and rotor face to get as close to an even width front to rear as possible. Others run 1.25" spacers like the Spidertrax all the way around. The rear will be more narrow than the front. The factory axles are slightly that way anyway. To open another kettle of fish: Now would be a good time to do a SOA lift on the rear if you can afford to lift the front 6 or so inches at the same time. You would use the same parts/labor to go SOA on the axle install either way for the most part. I did a SOA rear/5.5" front lift for about $700 total but that was last year. Did you buy a lift to do that? And I don't know if I really want 6inches. Doesn't it change how the thing feels and drives a lot once you get that high?

    1987 Comanche long bed 4.0l Manuel 5 spd, Dana 35 and Dana 30. 3 inch RC lift, 31 bfg ATs Alright, so I've learned a lot about axle swaps but now that I'm looking for a 8.8 out of an explorer, I just want to know what is completely involved. I've looked at some other posts and stuff so I have a rough idea. What do I need get to do this? What do I need to do? Is it simple enough? What cutting and welding and fabricating is involved? Should I get the axle beefed up with a truss while its out? What gears should I do and how much are they? What shafts? Brakes? Ect? Thanks please don't tell me that I shouldn't does this or some other thing about money. I just want to see what's involved and if I want to do this. I have my reasons why and it's also just a learning experience for me, So if you can just answer with a straight forward answers. Thanks
  24. Jackrabbit41
    Alright, I'll have to start looking then. Thanks
  25. Jackrabbit41
    It's 150$ for the 8.8 and it's already pulled out but it's in a few pieces. How does that sound?
