A buddy of mine found some axles on Facebook marketplace and I wanted to see what everybody thinks of this deal. The guy is asking $400 for a ford 8.8 rear and a dana 30 front with 4.10's, a lunchbox and an lsd. I'm trying to get the guys contact info to ask what brand axles, gears, etc he has. My jeep has Dana 35 rear, it's a 2005 6 speed with 4.0. The build I'm gonna do is about a 2" suspension lift with 1.5" body lift and tummy tuck with 31's, similar to what @Irun has done with his. My question is this: does this seem like too good a deal to pass up, and what does everybody think about this being a worthwhile purchase/potential upgrade for my build plan? It's my understanding that a super 35 is probably better than a ford 8.8, however a fairly built 8.8 for this price seems like a good deal especially with the 4.10 gears I'd want.
I would more than likely refresh the axles a little bit with new seals and ball joints, and take what repairs I've done to my axle (u joints steering etc) and slap it on with this one. My second question is what would have to be done to get the rear onto mine when it comes to brakes, it should be a fairly common thing to do but I'll have to look into it more. Let me know what yall think, thanks in advance!
