Well you would have no coil buckets on the front axle, and unless that axle's internals are modded, your Dana 30 is no different. I'm not sure what the spring perch width is on a YJ, but that along with shock mounts could be the only problem on the 8.8.

Thanks for the info. Yes the front is modif. 4.10 with a lock rite. the guy who has them said that the spring pads width is 42" to the outside for the rear axle. I cant measure mine rt now as it is in Houton tx getting a new engine. Both axles have lockers and 4.10's. He wants a 1000.00 for the set. Wondering if thats a good price.
