Default New junkyard axle

Ok heres part of the plan I can't afford $550 for a set of Teraflex disc brake sets so i am looking at putting on a Ford 8.8 Rear Axle w/disks on my xj. Has anyone else tried this and are there any hidden complications I should be aware of before attempting this.

If all you want is disc brakes get some off a ZJ. They will fit the 35, 44 and 8.25 and will be a good bit cheaper and easier than an axle swap.
