i have a 1998 with the dana 35 and abs and i found a 8.25 without abs can i still use this axle or is it a bad idea thanks?

 

you wont have ABS anymore,... but its swapable

is the 8.25 a 29 spline axle by chance?

 

dose abs matter on a lifted jeep?

 

where did you get the 8.5 i am looking for one. I am a newbe and dont really know what will swap.

 

The problem is your brakes are currently ABS. So you would have to remove your ABS setup and goto a standard Power Booster setup in order to do the swap. As far as I know you can't run ABS front and Non-ABS rear, it just won't work.

 

after going above 5% of your stock tire hight, abs wont work anyway...

 

so how dose people put like dana 44 out of school trucks without the abs under their new school jeeps with abs?

 

i think with a 44 most people do a disc brake conversion. but the 8.25 if definitely strong than the turdy 5.

 

its in gandjunction co i can give you the guys phone number if your close ha
