I will preface this by saying I have absolutely no necessary fab tools to build a junkyard 8.8 to swap into my 98 zj. I am contemplating my next mod, which will be getting rid of the d35. The rig in question is a 98 ZJ with a 5.5" suspension and 34" milestar Patagonia Mts. I need something a little stronger in the rear and am debating between the D44A that came as an option in ZJs, and a custom build Ford 8.8. As of now I am leaning toward the D44A, as I can get a locker and gears for it, and it can be had cheap. It's a plus that it's a direct bolt in under my ZJ that I could have done in a day. The 8.8 is probably stronger and has more gear and locker options, but would likely be a lot more $$ as I would need to basically buy it from an axle company, ready to bolt in. Thoughts?
I know, it's a bit of a newb question..
