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.

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.

Re: Update on Ford 8.8 Axle Swap into a Jeep YJ
 

The pictures are fixed now, thanks for letting me know.

I've been driving the Jeep all week, and I have absolutely no
vibration at all from the drive shaft. I think the drive shaft looks
steeper than it really is in the pictures. I have a 2.5" lift with a
1" transfer case drop. The drive shaft angle is now smaller than it
was before the swap because I was able to set the angle of the pinion
before welding.

A slip yoke eliminator or custom drive shaft is prolly the way to go,
but when you are out in the boonies and got to drive home, you do your
best. :) The drive shaft is just as straight as it was before I
shortened it. I made sure to take my time with the alignment of the
two pieces before welding them together. The drive shaft is just as
strong as it was before if not more, plus, a shorter drive shaft has a
greater cushion for error. That is how I at least rationalized
cutting it.

I'll make sure and post again if I have any problems with it, but for
now, things seem to be all good.

Hi Brent,
Denial is not just a river in Egypt. This is your excuse to make a
new driveshaft with a Constant Velocity Universal Joints. Because your
you output and pinion angles are not parallel:

Hey Bill,

Well you know.. experience is something you don't get until just
after you need it. :)

Judging from that website, it looks like a slip yoke eliminator would
work out well with my setup, good to know.

Hey Bill,

I took a picture of the driveshaft today from the side. The pinion
angle looks parallel with the transfer case. I think the pictures
before were from funny angles that gave an optical illusion of sorts.

Re: Update on Ford 8.8 Axle Swap into a Jeep YJ
 

Brent look at the balancing weight which is readily apparent in your photo.
Do you think that that weight is appropriate now given that you have lopped
off an inch and a half from the middle of the shaft? For the love of God at
least take the shaft to a shop with the equipment and expertise to fabricate
drive shafts, and have a proper tubing welded into the middle of it.
