Dang you thinking welding it or new axle Definitely not getting a new axle over something like that. It'll be repaired. However, I may be getting an axle out of a 2.5L with 4.10 gearing if I decide I like the 4.10's after I install my 8.8 rear and 35" tires. 4.10s aren't gonna be low enough for 35s, are they?

I'm either going with 4.10 or 4.56. Since that 8.8 has 4.10 ratio I'm gonna try that out with the 35's, and if it isn't low enough for me I'll regear both to 4.56.

Where did you find your 8.8? I'm thinking of putting one in mine too. I got it at Pull a Part down in Jackson. I think it was $178 for the whole assembly.

Mine has 3.07 gears which is way high for my 34's. I may just put new gears in what I already have. Just looking at other options, cost, etc.

I thought we put some paint on it, may want to if you haven't already to keep it from rusting.

What are yallz thoughts on a bracket kit for the 8.8 swap?? I know they make bracket kits but are allittle pricey,, I think I could fab em up myself if I had the layout of where to place em on the axle, and dimentions of the brackets themselves.The tj and zj are a direct swap so if we get it figured out I can make a batch of em. If also heard of cutting and reusing the ones off the 35 but I feel like that's just askin for trail failure! Definitely want to attempt this soon! If I get that part down pat maybe trusses will be next!
