So 8.8
I'am putting the 8.8in my xj i know i need it from a mountaineer or explorer is there a certain year though? But my main question is. Where do you all recommend getting one? I didnt know if a JY find would be good or not or if they are difficult to find in a Junkyard

Pretty sure it's 95-01 explorers you want. Disc brakes and 31 spline
JY is the place if you can't find one on Craigslist. Always check online and local forums/clubs first
There's always someone getting rid of an old one or getting rid of the one they were going to build for their jeep

as long as its a disc brake 8.8 from a 95+ it will be fine.

You'll have to buy the gears, front and rear.
And have them installed by a professional.

I don't like it. too much invested in a stock axle I'd rather have a 44. but it will hold up
