I read an article on the 8.8 a while back, but I haven't found it YET.
These tires were made for muddin and they're gonna throw mud all over you.

Ford Explorers are pretty common with 8.8s and everyone knows the junk yards are full of exploders!

I'm planning a Ford 8.8 Axel swap, D44 is not an option as there are none available that won't have the tires hanging out of the weal arch. My budget is limited so I wanna keep to the 8.8 as there are loads of them all over the place. I have a friend that owns a scrappy so I will probably get it for next to nothing.
I just wanna ask someone what do I do with my front axel. I doubt that by doing this swap the ratios will be the same, and tearing a drive shaft or messing up my T/C is not an option. So I would like to know if anyone knows if it is possible to take the front axel of a ford explorer and stick that in the front of my YJ?
I have 2 reasons for doing this, less confusion about parts, and fluids. The other I will yank the entire brake system from the Ford Explorer and have ABS. I want ABS because the people here drive like a bunch of yahoos, me included.
If the swap is possible, does anyone know if the front axel of a Ford Explorer is stronger than the front axel of a YJ?
AX-15 to NV4500 conversion on a YJ, all the low ratio you'll ever need!!
