So I currently have the 8.8 in the starting stages of tear down and prep. While I'm going through dis-assembly and grinding, etc thought I'd reach out for any final input on my build plans before I drop all the $$ for parts.
This is not a D44 vs. 8.25 vs. 8.8 discussion. I have researched plenty of posts for that and have made my decision. I do have the stock 8.8 with LSD, 4.10 gears, 31 spline shafts and Discs.
Below is the list of parts for my rear axle build. Looking to see if anyone has experience with this particular combination of components or if anyone can identify any compatibility issues I may have in fitting them all together in this combination.
I think I have it all pretty well planned for my purposes (50/50 combination street/trail) But always better safe than sorry, right?
As for what it's going into; 92 XJ 4.0 HO w/ 64k, AX15, NP231, A/A SYE, Tom Woods Rear DS, Bilstein 5150's, Rusty's 3" Spring Pack, HD Offroad Shackle Relocation Brackets (approx 1.5" lift) and Iron Man 4x4 Adj. Rear Lift Shackles (up to 3.5" lift). Currently running 32 x 11.5 BFG MT's, also have 35 x 12.5 MT Baja Claws to swap over when ready.
Your thoughts?
