X2 i just got their perches and shock mounts for a 44 i'm doing on the back of my heep, super beefy and great customer serviceRuff Stuff specialties for the swap kit all the way. Great cust service and the stuffs really beefy. Its what I went with.
The Mustang 8.8 and Explorer 8.8 (31 spline) are not the same. You dont want to put a Mustang 8.8 in a Jeep.i kick my self cause i wrecked my mustang and had alot of money in the rear end and motor so now i wish i would have kept it it would have been nice to have a 10 sec xj lol but having the disk brake of the 8.8 would be good so im going to find a nother 8.8 where can you get the spring perches and shock tabs and thanks for your help

thanks for thr info as soon as i build my engine i will be doing some type of rear end upgrade . One more question ive loked at ring and pinions ford is 4.10 and dana is 4.11 is that a problem or not enough to worry about
you should really re-do the perches anyway, to get your pinion angle right.You can find a D44 out of an MJ all the way to 1992. But the perches would have to be redone to fit an XJ.

If you want cheap and easy (like I like my wimmins) just get a later-model XJ (29-spline) 8.25.
Real close to 44 strength, easy to find, cheap to buy, bolt in install.
Done.

you'd also have to weld on some shock mounts, as the mj's are attached via the lower spring plate...You can find a D44 out of an MJ all the way to 1992. But the perches would have to be redone to fit an XJ.
