Callmehickross Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Anybody ever put one of these on a mj and if so was the width difference extremely noticeable or no Pictures would be appreciated if possible Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunnc1991 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Unsure on the width. I'd imagine it would definitely be wider, however weren't those 150's 5x5 bolt pattern? That's one of the pluses of the Explorer 8.8 is to be able to keep your current wheels/ match the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Mesa XJ Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I did the 8.8 swat to my xj, I did need wheel spacers to get the rims/tires out enough. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crash Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I believe GordoSmasho on naxja installed a F150 8.8 in his XJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 do you recall what he has up front? I have a 9" under my MJ (same sorta thing just a bit older), but it doesn't match the stock MJ front axle at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I think he is running a JK 44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
