I did mine in my 97 TJ it is a Bluetorch fab truss and diff cover. Rubicon express lowers and uppers built by me with heims.

I really only have 1 close up and it was when my tank was still in stock location so it kinda sucks but here ya go.

i am not a good welder by any means but what does a kit like that run?

 

[1bigtj]

yeah would definately appreciate info on the rear end for sale
thanks

I bought the 8.8 and got my bracket kit from MORE www.mountainoffroad.com for around $300.

Well worth it. I trussed my 8.8, welded the tubes and have been beating the **** out of it ever since.

I might be interested in selling mine. It's a 8.8 with Yukon 4.88's, Detroit locker, 31 spline, 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern, disc brakes, Ford 9" yoke with a 1350 U-joint set-up. Comes with spare shafts. I have never broke one. Make me an offer. Also has Poison spider diff protection.

We've done a couple of dozen 8.8 swaps, feel free to give me a ring and I'd be happy to answer any questions for you. I also normally stock the bracket kits.
