I'm stayin out of this one, I'd just confuse you. lol

 

jonb8, no please, any confusion usually is followed my new found knowledge.

kyle, what would u suggest putting in there?

 

for a direct bolt in either a 87/88 XJ d44 or a 97+ c8.25 (for a direct bolt in) or if you want to fab up some mounts look into the 8.8 with disks.

not sure if you know this or not... but if you do a 5 point harness you need a cage or some serious place to mount it, unless you want your spine to fold in half in an accident that is.

 

KTM, ive got some cage tubing comming with the 1/8" steel for the bumpers, so thats covored. planning on just doing a 4pt with behind the seat crossbar.

kyle, hmmm, i like the d44s ill have to look around for one... and other than discs what benifit does the 8.8 have and how hard would that be to find?

 

8.8 will be alot easier to find then the direct bolt up d44 to the XJ.

8.8 is significantly stronger then your stock axle and it will have the disk breaks which is a plus. it can be found on older exploders.

oooh, okay i know which ones your talking about. not sure where i can one, but ill look around

 

junk yards

-Kyle

 

all the junkyards within 50miles are <2000 vehicles only.

oh, and i picked up a nifty steel toolbox for $8 from a garage sale. so now i can bring my tools out with me...

 

retard with the blazer wrecked it already... hes in search for another. until then the comps off. personally im not to worried about it, but im starting to get obsessed with KTMs xj... the 37s w/ hardly any lift... since i have a 2dr, and dont have to worry about a rear door, if i were to tub the rear wells, and cut the front fender, to no specific limit, with a 2" lift, how big would i be able to go?

 

heres 37's with 1.5"



keep in mind your front axle will not hold up and the 8.8 or 44 will be at its limit.

also took alot of suspension modification to make this work (front axle pushed forward, extended bumpstops etc.

 

see, i LOVE ur rig! watching the vids and stuff, between sisor and youtube... drives me up the walls. would the stock axels hold upto 35s or 33s? atleast till i can get something beefy under there. i beat the hell outta my 87 yj on 35s and stock axels for quite some time, which is where the little bit of knowledge, assumptions and what may be common knowledgable questions i have come from.

 

the d35 will not hold now will the 27spl c8.25. so you are going to have to swap the rear for 35+

the d30 will run 35's but it is recommended that you cromo the front shafts before doing so.

-Kyle

 

well i started a new thread, and ended up changing it b/c ive wandered all over with this. but what are the best axels u can suggest to swap in? im not worried about prices, just need an idea, where i need to head.

 

Waggy D44 87-9? is d44 front and rear and only like an inch wider than your D30,35. 81-87 (i think) have axle disconnect and dana 20 rears. You don;t want a 20. Some people are using isuzu rodeo rears to mate with the waggy front. Same bolt pattern,410's, track lock and rear disks. They say there as strong as a D44. If you don't care about keeping your tires under your flares than use a 70's ford HP front and a 60 or 14 bolt rear, they would be the strongest. Stay away from chevy stuff diff is on wrong side and they steer front to rear instead of side to side like your jeep.
