8.8 set up for TJ in MA (not mine)
« on: January 13, 2009, 02:08:44 AM »
Saw this and thought someone may be interested.  Set up for $600, but don't know ratio.

8.8's are 150 from the boneyard.  all brackets from jeep ready to be welded on are like 300.  welding costs about a 30 pack most of the time.  cheaper to BUILD YOUR OWN!!

add brakes, because a $150 axle isn't going to have decent brakes, I know I checked.  You still need the passenger side brake line, and bend up some hard line.  So you were at $450 before the cost of brakes and lines, and you still need to do all the grinding, welding and painting.  $600 sounds like a good deal for a bolt on axle.  Just my 2 cents.

I agree that $600 for a bolt in set up is a good deal, especially if it has all new components and at least the stock LS.  I spent I don't even know how much building my 8.8, and spent the whole winter doing it with help from Scott and a few other members.
