8.8 rear end swap
I am planning to do a swap on my 89. I have found a complete assembly locally that is a complete rear end with the disc brakes. My question is what length rear end do I need for the xj?

Stock is close to 60.5" WMS-WMS. (Wheel mount surface). I THINK the 8.8 out of an Explorer is a little narrower (1.5") but works fine. 8.8 out of expedition is around 64"-

Hold on now-all Explorer 8.8's weren't created equal. What is the ID# of the 8.8 you're looking at? You're just planning on regearing the front as well?
