The 8.8 Simple Swap kit!

[VAhasnoWAVES]

any chance on your guys selling brake lines and brake cable for the parking break to make it a COMPLETE kit?

 

[Dan Fredrickson]

Anything is possible but I would have to start doing it many times over, this is the most popular swap kit we make but not the only one...

 

[Dan Fredrickson]

Still the #1 swap for XJ guys! Thanks

Quick question on the perches, it seems from the pictures that the surface the leaf springs sit on is about 3/4" above the top of the tube. With the tubes being larger on the 8.8 already, does this add even more lift height? Basically, without changing anything but the axle, how much more lift will i have in the rear than I already do?
Thanks
Lightfoot

about 1/2" if it was from a D35 you have swapped

This is a great kit. I have the spring perches and u-bolt plates on my Jeepspeed.

how much lift going from an 8.25 to an 8.8 ?

None...This is not a lift kit, it is the pieces you need to swap the axle...

so im going to peak at an 8.8 on sunday. Thinking about buying it. 50 bucks for everything but a ring and pinion set. Good deal? What do I have to do to it with this kit to get it on an XJ and how offroad tough is this kit?

The tubes on a 8.8 are 3.25, the 8.25 has 3" tubes..... so 1/8" lift from the tube size.

What gears are you going to be running? If its 4:10 I would keep looking. If your using a non-factory ratio, go for it! You will need a welder in addition to this kit. May as well weld the tubes to the housing while you are at it. Also seriously consider adding the rear cover. The stock Ford cover is foil thin, and with the pinion angle set for an SYE, mine was hanging down just begging to be peeled off.

Thanks for picking up my slack Souske!

The question on toughness has't been answered though. We have NEVER had a problem with these related to being strong enough. Never!

Dan, I just need U-Bolts and top plate, can you guys do a deal on just those? I understand if I have to call to place the order, or shoot me a PM.
