    ford 8.8 swap driveshaft issue

    I am wondering what driveshaft should I use for a XJ 8.25-8.8 swap. I only have about 3 inches of lift so will my stock shaft work? I've heard that the stock shaft may be to short, in this case what else could I use, the explorer shaft? I've also heard the D35 XJ shaft is longer, would that...

    Hard start caused by coolant temp sensor?

    Hey guys. Earlier today my Jeep started having rough starts. It will crank for about 10 seconds and then "sputter" to life. It idles rough for about 5 seconds and then it's fine. I can hear the fuel pump prime so I'm guessing it's not that- although I have not tested the check valve/ fuel...

    TJ Rubi front axle swap a good idea?

    Hey guys. So I recently located a set of TJ Rubicon Dana 44's on the local craigslist, and i'm wondering what the general consensus is on swapping Rubicon axles into an XJ. I currently have an 8.8 out back, so i'm more focused on the front- but if I can get the rear for a decent price I may go...

    JKS vs Tomkin Machine vs Rubicon Express sway bar discos

    Hi everyone. I'm in the process of revamping my suspension and replacing all of my old Rough Country stuff with better/ more durable components. As far as sway bar links go- I have 3 choices in mind. Obviously the JKS links, I've heard these are the best from just about everyone. I also found...

    Upper and lower control arms question

    So my stock lca bushings are shot so I'm looking into replacing/ upgrading my lower control arms, as well as my uppers. I'm running about 3.5 inches of lift and was planning on getting both adjustable uppers and lowers. I've done some research and I like the look of the Metalcloak adjustable...

    Ford 8.8 gear ratio ID- no tags on diff cover

    Recently I picked up an 8.8 already set up for an xj. The guy I bought the axle from wasn't the guy who installed it in the jeep it came out of and he didn't know the gear ratio. The tags that usually show your gear ratio on the diff covers are completely gone, and I bought the axle already...

    Dana 44 or Ford 8.8

    Hi everybody. Yesterday I came across an 89 (I believe) xj 2x4 with a tow package in the junkyard and it has a Dana 44 rear end. I'm not sure about the gear ratio or if it has a limited slip as all the tags on the axle were removed, but either way I figure this would be a quality upgrade over my...

    3 inch lift rear suspension setup, opinions/ ideas?

    Hey guys! I'm new here so I hope I'm posting this in the right place. Anyways, here's some backstory to my dilemma, I've had a 2.5/3 inch Rough Country aal for the past year and it sucks, no flex and really bad ride. I recently bent my upper leafs in both packs, so time for an upgrade. Id like...
