Default east coast gear supply, who's bought their axles?

My girlfriend needs a new axle in the back of her xj, I was show this website to take care of her jeep but I'm now interested too.
So my question is has anyone gotten an 8.8 from them?

I haven't dealt with them personally but I've had a friend or two buy some stuff from them.

Personally, I don't think it's worth it. You can pick up an 8.8 in the JY for less than 100 bucks.

Yes, I always deal with Russ at ECG. They have top notch quality and CS, not to mention a 5 year warranty, find a junkyard that does that.

So if you chew the gears in 5 years they replace it?

Just make sure there is no sign if it was induced from unnatural driving activity

You plan on doing the front as well? If no, will your gear ratio's match?

I'd probably just do 3.55s or get gears for the front so I could go deeper
