Has anyone done a write up on what it takes to swap in the Ford 8.8 for those of use who are considering doing it and need to know what we're getting into? And what are the pros and cons of this option over the dana 44?
Thanks for the input, saved me lots of useless work! I am swapping in a 5.9L V8 currently and don't know how well the stock Dana 35's would hold up. Currently on 33's, but once those are worn out I'll put 35's under the TJ. So with the added power of the V8 and the heavier resistance of the larger tire how would the Super 35 kit hold up? I don't drive wreck-less, but I do put my vehicles through what they were made for. My TJ is mostly my daily but also building it into my weekend off road rig (eventually overland, some crawling, and general camping).
@Nathan Stanfield and @TimboSlice you guys didn't have (or ever have) any issues with driveline after your install? And to anyone else, what are the major differences between the Dana 35, 44, and the 8.8? Don't know if I'm just not looking in the right places, but can't see much of a breakdown between the 3.
