1988 xj
(D30 BA10/5 231 d35) for now
So I found a 94 d30 3.55 gears for $80
Also found a 2000 8.8 3.73 gears limited slip for $125
Found a 8.8 mini spool $75
I'll need 3.73 gears an carrier for the front
I'll need to get the swap kit for the 8.8 also $225
I found iro truss kit for the 8.8 bt do I really need the truss
Money is getting to be a little tight right now so is it really necessary to have the truss
My xj is MAINLY a dd bt I do hit some trails and see what my jeep does
I already ordered adj trac bar $140
And extended brake lines $90

I would hold off on the truss for now if money is tight- It will be easier to do before putting the axle on but I doubt you are going to need it. The 8.8 is a pretty strong axle. What size tires are you going to be running?

Don't waste the money on an 8.8 either if your only running 33s. Sure..its an upgrade from an 8.25...but at 33s I doubt you'll see carnage with an 8.25
Just go buy 3.55 Dana 30 and a 29 spline 8.25 and regear when you have the $

I want disk brakes in the rear my stopping power sucks right now
Maybe in a long time when I get another truck and make my xj a trail rig only then I'll put 35 37
On it bt for now I'm only running 33
I wouldn't mind a8.25 bt I don't really want to convert it to disk and everyone want a crazy price for one already converted

Yes so 175 and 125 300 total for the 8.8
Roughly 275-300 for a 8.25 with disk
So max 25 dollars for a way Stronger axle
Really 300 for an axle is too much money that's what I'll send either way
