No. The Mustang 8.8 is too narrow and 29 spline...also set up for coils. You want a Ford Explorer 8.8, post 95. 31 spline, leaf sprung, disk brakes, and only 1 5/8" narrower than an XJ. As far as the Dana 35...the only Dana 35's up front were Ford's, and they were TTB (twin traction beam)....

Depends on if your plans, I personally want an LSD one as I don't plan on putting a locker in it.
In other news.. Anyone want ZJ disc brake backing plates? I've got a set $40 picked up.
-sold

I've got a line on a motor, ordered new boots for work today, and I ordered Brown Dog mounts for the YJ since I'm doing the swap. Yesterday I ordered new lug nuts for the YJ, a steering wheel puller, and a resistor pack to bypass VATS on the Camaro so I can start cracking the security. Once that's done, I need to replace every brake component on the front end from the master cylinder to the pads, including lines. I also have a new Softopper frameless top waiting to go on the Wrangler, and I'm trying to get into a Basic Rider's Course next month for the motorcycle.
So much going on, but so little getting done...
