does any one know if early bronco axles are wider than the stock xj axles? and is a 9 inch alot stronger than an 8.8 or they the same
 
ok thanks. but are the bronco axles wider or shorter. and after reading was wondering how much lower is a 9 inch pumpkin then a d 60
 
wider
fullsize bronco > mid size cherokee
 
they are almost the same width, I got my 9 out of a 67 ford f100 and I think it was within half an inch of the same width. The broncos should be the same width as a f100
 
The Early Bronco axles are about 1 1/2" narrower, the rear axles perches DO NOT line up, but this is easily fixed, and the rear is a 28 spline. The 31 spline started in '78 models, which are also F-series based. I have this set-up under an '88 XJ, using the 9" drum brakes, and (ugh) 1.3" wheelspacer/adapters on it.
