Lets say you had an 8.8 rear with 4.10 gears that someone was basically going to give you. You'd have to convert the brackets for a TJ, which is fine. Now what do you do with your Dana 30? Spend the money to have it re-geared to 4.10s, buy a used D30 that already has 4.10 gears for just an axle swap, or get the D30 and 8.8 both re-geared to 4.56? Cost wise, I don't know which will be easier on my wallet. about 700 for a D30 at the boneyard, or re gearing my existing one.
I don't see myself going beyond 33's and the wheeling will unfortunately be at a minimum..even then, nothing really extreme.
The 8.8 a friend has sitting behind his shed. it's still set up for an explorer, i think limited slip, 4.10 with disc brakes, which he has no use for anymore.
