What say you fellow jeepers....is this an axle worthy of being under my jeep? will the lug pattern match up with my current rims????? i am asking these ? cause i am thinking about upgrading to this axle so that i can run 35 inch tires ( or preferably biggger) thanks all :-D :-D [addsig]

Here's a link to a write up on the 9inch swap and a couple othersPage title:Swap Info I think the 8.8swap is quite popular because there are alot of them around in a variety of gear choices and they have discbrakes. Hope this helps Evan[addsig]

im still running an AMC20 :-( but have a couple friends who run 9s. their pinion is just kinds low to the ground when compared to dana axles, if you want to go custom (read expensive) you can get a reverse cut 9 that has a higher pinion go to currie
