since my 8.8 full floater rear swap is almost done it's time to do a front rear to put under my xj. dana-44 sounds good but not a direct bolt-in unless i buy a currie or something. since i have a spare 8.8 from a exploder i'm thinking of cutting the tubes out of it, retubing it, welding dana 44 C
knuckles onto the tubes, bolting on chevy 6-lug knuckles,brakes, installing a locker of some sort and a IFS gear set. why you ask, since i would have to cut a dana 44 up to put under, weld brackets and so on, i should do it
to a 8.8 since it is stronger than a 44. any input ?
