8.8 with disc and l/s ftw.

4.88 d30 pinion gets real small

 

[IllianaXJ]

Right now I have 4.10s with 31s and it is great. I'm hoping it doesn't suck when I put the 33s on in Feb. Factory 4.10s in a TJ 30 and 8.8.

 

[macgyvr]

I did 4.10s and 33s for a long time in the popcan and it worked out.

4.56 and 33s is much nicer.

the small pinion of the 4.88s scares me...and I've seen a few busted.

I must have my numbers off, been a 'few' years since I've driven the, what is now the buggy, on the road with 4.10s and 34s. Eh I still stand by 4.56s/4.88s in the stock axles, I feel the 8.8 is only worth the time if you score a disk brake 4.10. I prefer the 8.25.

the 8.25 is decent, but if you're going 35's then the 8.8's bigger tubes matter. The diff is ginormous, so sometimes rock anchor.

I had good service out of a few 8.8s that had nothing more than the tubes welded to the center.

super bling superior 8.8 was the bomb diggity, and will live under a comanche once again in Doug's build.

I Flogged the dog piss out of the 27spl welded 4.10 8.25 in my buggy for 5+ years in my buggy on 36s and not a problem after I ditched the bolt/strap stock yoke for an after market u-bolt one. But every ones different.

Going to graveyard shift next week for the next 2 months. Apparently I'm important. Hope it shows on my review

Guess I'll go with 4.56's.. 99% of road duties are 45mph and under so I suppose it shouldn't be bad. That'll be a little down the road though. I have a 8.8 w/disc brakes I got from a buddy for a head unit that came with a TBSS I bought.. swapped it out for the stock unit for before I sold it and traded for the 8.8, so I really have nothing in it.

 

[MKR5150]

You'll be happy with the 4.56s and the 8.8, its a good axle.

[87manche]

nice to see I'm not the only guy that ignores the "Don't use an impact" warnings on the balljoint tool.

87 'not enough ass' manche

 

[IllianaXJ]

I used one every time when I was working at the shop. Never blew up a HF ujoint/balljoint tool, even though it made a wide U several times.
