I've lurked around here off/on for awhile, but seeing how I'm going from YJ/XJ to just XJ now, it's time to immerse a bit more. Last fall, I had a pinion bearing failure in my D35 (low fluid) that led to the pinion welding to the bearing race. It's not coming out without a torch and destruction.
I just so happened to have a YJ SOA built 8.8 w/ 4.88s and a Detroit, that is being modified for the XJ instead.
The friend helping me with the swap/upgrade, recommended going with Deaver springs, and following some JeepSpeed specs, but that is quickly getting to be a bit too rich right now for what I have in mind.
Rusty's and IRO are where I'm leaning right now, so I'd like some input on these two options, and if I should branch out a bit.
