Hello, I'm new to the XJ world - Been driving a highly modified CJ-7 (V8, NV4500, 4.11 gearing, 4:1 D300) for 12 years. Of course, I deluded myself into thinking I'd just leave the XJ stock, but after 10 days, that old familiar itch is starting to show!
I had Ford 9" w/ Detroits front & rear on my CJ, but am looking at the Explorer 8.8 for the XJ rear end. I see there is a recurring theme about the C-Clip, but no postings that I've found comment on the C-clip eliminators (Moser, Reider, etc.). Would that solve the issues with the 8.8? My intent is NOT HD off-roading with this vehicle, but one never knows the future At this point, I'd just like some larger tires (31" or 32"), and some sort of traction aid as both diffs are open.
Thanks
Larry
