You know its not a bolt in it takes welding right?A 8.8 swap kit http://eastcoastgearsupply.com/i-288...-swap-kit.html and while your welding that on have the axle tubes fully welded to the center.From the factory the axle tubes are only held on by 2 plug welds hard off road they can break.And get the driveshaft flange thing it looks like this http://eastcoastgearsupply.com/i-148...ange-used.html
