i have a 27spline 8.25 and i just found a guy selling a 29spline 8.25 with disc brakes out of a 99, for $175. should i buy it since it will bolt right in

MountiansRcool

if it has the gear ratio you want in it, yes, and then sell your 27 spline for 150$

ohio95xj

yep, 3.55 and i'm regearing later this month lol, perfect timing

ohio95xj

I got him down to $160, good deal if you ask me

Yep thats a good deal, especially since it already has disk brakes.

I'm jealous! I'd be curious to know if it's the ZJ conversion or JK...or the Teraflex kit. damn I wish my 8.25 had discs!!!!

ohio95xj

I'm prety sure it's zj, but I will find out more when I go look at it. The main point is, it has discs

Pretty sure I'm going to piece together a conversion kit for my XJ. It seems like a lot of work but well worth it and straightforward. I read somewhere that certain year KJ (liberty) have a rear 8.25 with discs and the backing plate bolts right on. The e-brake...still not sure on that one. But looking forward to this challenge! I just wish the write ups I've found had working images. I HATE THAT!!

ohio95xj

Yeah, I rally hope the brakes on this axle were done right. I'll fond out when I get there lol

I did the disc swap on my 8.25 very easy i used parts off a 97 zj dana 35 stops amazingly and no more adjusting drums if anyone has questions about the swap pm me

Did you swap the proportioning valve too?

ohio95xj

Picked up the axle, it's got the zj swap
