flint54 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 She's prettier than a 17 year old on prom night (well almost)! '01 XJ Chrysler 8.25 with 3.55 gears, Powertrax No-Slip, RS 9000 shocks, HellCreek MT2200 springs, JKS greaseable shackles, Spidertrax spacers, Tom Woods drive shaft (thanks to very helpful CC member) and '97 ZJ disc brakes. This mod was made possible only by the support and experience of the experts on this forum - thanks! Now I'm going to drive it a while before tackling the front (but I'm on my way to JY to scout for parts) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SW86 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 hell yeah i was wondering if you were going to post up :wrench: looks good you spent more time on yours then i did on mine thats for sure. i wish i had gotten a 00 or 01 8.25 cause the internals seem stouter then in my 97. what did you coat it with? and why the wheel spacers? i thought the 8.25 was longer then the turdy5 :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flint54 Posted March 12, 2011 Author Share Posted March 12, 2011 Coating is POR-15, and I'm pretty sure the width is same for both axles. The snout is one inch longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvusse Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 The (XJ, MJ, ZJ, YJ, TJ and possibly others) 35, 44, 8.25 and AMC20 are all the exact same width. Ford 8.8" is a bit narrower. Seems to work okay in a ZJ or XJ, but needs spacers in an MJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
