Both ideas look good guys. Thanks for giving me something to start with.

Question for all.... What do ya'll use to anchor stuff down in the bed? I'd like to do something like what the new TItans have....

Crap, guess I have to look for some new coils LOL

Are 4.5in TJ front coils the same height as 4.5in XJ coils? I got a cheap set of Rubicon Express 4.5in TJ coils and when I put them under my MJ even with a 2in spacer it is considerably lower than the rear which we measured 5.5 in of lift after SOA.

Ya, after posting I compared that kit to a master install kit and its crazy to see the difference in parts. I'l probably just go for the master kit and do it right the first time.

I just got a steal on 4.56's for my new 8.8 and was wondering if ya'll thought http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&viewitem=&item=260224518752 would work or would I need a more expensive install kit? Thanks, Kendal

Yup, SOA for the rear and I have some RE 4.5in coils for up front. also have some 2in spacers for the front if I need them, new trackbar, JKS Discos, Adj Lowers, New SS brake lines, Wheel spacers for front and rear, got the 1310 flange yoke w/ new ujoint, spring perches, shock brackets..... think that is it. What can I use for spring plates?

What did ya'll that have done a 8.8 swap use for new spring plates since the u-bolts are wider? Can the stock plates be re-used? They will look like poo but if they will work I might use them. I already have new shock mounts so I don't need the stockers for that. Kendal

I just ground off the spring perches and swaybar mounts today and have new perches and shock mounts in the garage. :D

So I can either get the stock explorer yoke and a 1310 to 1330 Ujoint or get a new 1310 flange and use the stock ujoint? That sounds like what is being said but I wanted to make sure.

wanted to follow up on this topic. Can anyone confirm if you can use a yoke off a ranger or such to connect an 8.8 to a stock MJ driveshaft? I just picked up my 8.8 and wanna get her under the jeep soon!!

You da man! Thanks

I've done alot of searching on many sites but can't seem to find my answer. What would be involved in converting a early 90's explorer 8.8 to disks? Can I get all the parts I need at the junkyard off a later model? Thanks, Kendal

Also check the connector. I had blinker stop working and when I checked it the dumb plastic housing was cracked. Went down to the junk yard and got a nice metal one and works like new! The dealer wanted like $25 for the connector BTW

Thats all I needed to hear. I'll just pick up a 231 tomorrow at the pull a' part. Thanks for the offer of the tcase tjbliley
