I found an 8.8 from a 97 ranger.
Its drum brakes, and is just over 58" wide. Cherokees are 60" or 60.5" normally??? I'm not sure what the width on the explorer 8.8 is, but a wheel spacer should take care of the lack of width. Its also missing a drum.
My concerns are:
1. Wide enough to fit?
2. Same sort of 8.8 as the explorers? no hidden bad stuff?
They are asking $180 for it, and I am sure I could talk it down, its got 3.73's and there is a guy selling OEM 8.8 posi units on craigslist for $40. I am figuring I can do my 4.10's or 4.56's with a posi and this 8.8 until i buy another ECTED
Worth it?
