A friend of mine is selling her 8.8 that she set up for her XJ. the leafs are on top and i was wondering if this would bolt on to my truck. shes asking $250


-ford 8.8 welded with 4.10s, solid diff cover, driveshaft included

 

were new leaf perches put on it?

nvm stupid question, because they came stock SUA. should bolt up fine.

 

the only thing holding me back is its Fully welded :\

 

Are the spiders welded to the carrier, or just the spider gears welded? Because if its just the spiders, you can buy new ones without buying a new carrier. If they're welded to the carrier, you'd need a new carrier + spider gears if you were to wanna unlock it. If you don't mind me asking, how much does she want for it?

 

yours is a dd right? if it is dont get a welded rear end. youll burn through tires and its harmful for the trans

 

250

 

lol my bad, didn't even see that up there

 

just the spiders. and she wants $250

 

im locked as is. i would just be getting it for the discs. i wanna see what it looks like inside b4 i take out my wallet

 

You can do a mustand disc swap

 

I mean, I would throw it under my xj if it was closer. welded or not. I'm sure she'd crack it open for you if you pay to fill it back up with fluid lol.

 

You are not going to want a welded rear end for your DD. If you are locked now, do you have an actual locker or is it welded.

 

im sure he just has factory L/S

 

A welded locker is a whole 'nother dog compared to L/S.
I'd hit that up for off road rig man. time to start collecting.

 

Power Trax Lock-Right

 

those are good, save the money youd spend on this, and convert your axle to disc breaks and youll have a better axle than the one for sale. trust me.

 

exactly, that is made to disengage and let one tire spin quicker than the other while turning and such on the road. A welded rear end is a totally different ball game. Not going to be what you want for a DD

 

Shock mounts are different, not sure if the geometry will be correct to get them to bolt in.

 

the shock mounts on the 8.8 should be fine. anything is better than the way they are on the axle above. I've caught mine on rocks several times and it makes me cringe. and the good think about the mount being higher up on the axle is you can run shorter shocks if you're cheap lol.

and to the don't weld a DD. I know numerous people who are welded on their DD's. its just something you have to adapt to. but, if you don't wheel it much, putting a welded diff in is stupid IMO.

oh, and is this girl good looking? hahaha. girls that drive xj's, aaah.

 

Wirelessly posted

Good looking is a yes. And I decided not to buy it.

 

yeeeaa

 

send her, and the axle my way lol.

not to be a dick, but it says you're from cali, may I ask how you know lol.

 

we have plenty of em out here dont you worry.

 

I was referring to how you know of this specific girl being good looking lol. but, do send some my way. I need to find me a decent girl who likes to go wheeling but isn't some hillbilly nasty *** redneck broad lol.

 

i think i got mine. she loves wheeling, shes hot, and she digs trucks n jeeps. did i mentions shes a gymnast? lol
