Hey all
I was able to get my Ford 8.8 under the Jeep yesterday.... its running great, the 4.10's made a huge difference in how the Jeep performs... anyone on the fence about this mod, do it.
Couple questions and comments.
It seemed like nobody on here had done an 8.8 with an AX-15. I couldn't get any definates on driveshaft length. I'm happy to report that I was able to re-use my stock driveshaft and slip yoke. It is long enough, I drove it 40 miles. I would not reccomend doing this for wheeling, it is not the most ideal setup, but if you run out of daylight like I did and need the Jeep moved, you can run it with the stock DS and slip yoke on a Jeep with the AX15. I'm running a 3.5" lift, and I'm confident that a stock front DS from an AW4 Jeep will be more than long enough.
E-brake. How did everyone set up the e-brake? Mine seems like no matter how much I tightened it the e-brake cables it is useless. I'd like to get it working as I have needed it on the trail before.
Where is the best place to buy a speedo gear?
