Everything that should be welded is.... just bad welds. Gunna fix broken weld tomorrow. Then start fixing all the other welds.

based on the grey/silver color of the coils I would guess that it is a Rubicon Express or a newer Rough Country lift
and yes it is an 8.8
they did a great job welding the gears... BUT as I said, you will need to fix the axle side, rear, upper control arm mounts... it IS NOT safe as it sits
as for upgrading it, you will need to pull the axle shafts out of the way and gt a new carrier... then you can upgrade...
keep in mind you need the same gear ratio front and rear
Yeah, completely tore that from the axle...... gettin fixed tomorrow with some xtra support.Originally Posted by ericfx1984
your upper control arm mounts in the last 2 pics are pulling away from the axle tube...based on the grey/silver color of the coils I would guess that it is a Rubicon Express or a newer Rough Country lift

I'm not welding it. Guy I know is. I have seen his welding and rigs he built so I'll be good.
