lifted_xj Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 I know the 8.8 is a simple straight forward swap but my main concern is the drive shaft. Do I still need a long shaft even with the yoke adapter? Gonna head to the junk yard to see if I can find a locked 4.10 axle this weekend if not ill just wait and be patient.
SW86 Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 id like to know this as well. I'm picking up an 8.8 this weekend. i think itd be fine since I'm going up to 6.5 but knowing before i dive in would be helpful.
btm24 Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 With my 2wd drive shaft It fit my 8.8 with lift still 2wd. Now 4x4 I had to have it shortened a few inches. I think that results may very tho. Good luck! Best thing I ever did its just sad to see it all rusty now :-/ Brandon
camjeep3 Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 even with the adapter i run my stock shaft. I am Spring over axle though, i could probably benefit from a longer shaft still.
lifted_xj Posted January 8, 2012 Author Posted January 8, 2012 Yea I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be running soa thinking about the RE 5.5" kit
brubakes Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 Do the 8.8's spring perches match up perfectly?
