hey guys, i definately did search this quite a bit and found a lot of good information but couldnt find out exactly what i was looking for.
I'm saving up for lift to run 33s and am worried about my 27 spline 8.25 out of my 93 and also my brakes so i am thinking about swaping in a 8.8 out of a junkyard from a newer (95 and up) explorer with disc brakes.
Basically what i am trying to find out is.....for those of you who have done the swap how much better are your brakes with the disc brakes. This is one of the main reasons i would like to do the swap. I have 31s right now (non abs) and frankly my brakes arnt very good right now and they're bled, new calipers, rotors, etc. So I am worried moving up to 33s my brakes will suck.
Also, what all do you have to do to switch over to the disc brakes with the 8.8. Just new lines (which ones?) or do i need like a new master cylinder or anything?
Lastly, I have read some stuff about the pumpkin being off-center in the 8.8. Does that seem to be a problem at all?
Thanks a lot for your help guys, srry about the long post.
