I found a guy who is selling a 8.8 with 4.10 disk breaks complete ready to bolt into my 88 xj
He is asking 450 is that to much or is that a far price??

how much does a junk yard rear end cost in your area? since a 4.10 8.8 with discs is a junk yard axle

then add maybe $160 for a swap kit and misc parts. whatever number that is is probably how much he has into the axle. and since no junk yard that I know of sells a rear axle for $290 he's probably making money off you. I'd offer $350



but if you can't weld then maybe $400 for that 8.8 is fair enough

I'd say jump on it. Offer something lower but be willing to pay the $450. Nice find!

i agree that its probably priced a little high for it being basicly a stock axle. if it had 4.56s there'd be no argument.

With 8 lugs??????



I have an 8.8 that was pulled from a junkyard for $100. Did the conversion and put in an Aussie for $150.


Convenience does cost!

Gotta think about the time it takes to cut off the shock mounts and perches and clean it up plus mock up and welding. I know the time I had into mine was worth over $100. So I think its a really fair price.
