kansashogan Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I have a '86 and an '88 with different frames. Can someone explain why they are different in the X crossmember? The '86 is much larger. Metric ton? It does have an AMC 20 rear axle with 4.10 gears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krustyballer16 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Is the 88 short bed? That's the difference I bet. Since all 86s were long beds Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeep Driver Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I'd suspect it was a redesign to accommodate both long and short after '86. Has nothing to do with axles or payload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kansashogan Posted September 8, 2019 Author Share Posted September 8, 2019 The '88 is a short and the '86 is long. I didn't think about that, thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
