Re: Ford 8.8 rear end

I have a 8.8 Explorer rear end in my LS swapped 98 Wrangler. It stock with 31 spline axles and posi. As said above it is a very popular upgrade to the Dana 35. The pinion offset wasn't a problem since I had constant velocity drive shaft built. The e-brake isn't the best design but it will hold the Jeep on an incline.
If you go this route be careful as you cut off the old brackets. The axle tubes a bit thin.
