Update on Ford 8.8 Axle Swap into a Jeep YJ
Hey All,
This weekend I successfully swapped in a Ford 8.8 axle to replace my Dana 35C. I wrote a tech article about it for anyone that is interested in doing this. http://www.chrr.ohio-state.edu/~bogr...le%20Swap.html Later -Brent Bogrees '89 Jeep Wrangler YJ 2.5L TBI – 33x10.5 BFG MT's '94 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4.0L – 31x10.5 BFG AT's http://www.chrr.ohio-state.edu/~bogrees/html/Jeep.html |

Hi Brent,
Looks good, but there is no way you'll ever be happy with your driveshaft, for fifty bucks a machine shop will chuck up your yokes and press fit and weld a new, balanced tube.

Re: Update on Ford 8.8 Axle Swap into a Jeep YJ
You have to give him credit for trying though. I don't believe that I have
ever seen one welded together in the middle like that. The stock Wrangler drive shift is one of the shortest I have ever seen too, and this can create problems that removing an inch from the middle probably doesn't help with. I suspect from the side view picture of the drive shaft that the universal joint angles might be excessive now. This Wrangler might have a slip yoke eliminator in its future, especially if any sort of suspension lift is involved. Still, nice job and nice web page. Maybe if I ever get bored, or get some spare time, or break the 35c I will do something like that. Earle "L.W.
