It is narrower than like a 8.25 so your tires will be in further not out. And your turning radius will get smaller although only a very small difference

Acerwin, I'm almost positive you don't have the tools or knowhow to fabricate an 8.8 swap. Buy one and pay a reputable shop to put it in.

Send me 12 forms of I.D., city and county background checks and you can come look at my Jeep with an 8.8 in it. 
Bring parts and cash/trade for my time and I might even install it for you.

New Here, Ive got a 4.5" Lift and my track bar bushing is blown out. so im looking to upgrade to an adjustable Track bar with the drop down bracket. Does this mean i will also need a DPA? if so what is a good kit that has the track bar and DPA.
EDIT: Second question do i even need to drop down the mounting point on the track bar if im not experiencing bumpsteer?
Can i just go with this kit? http://www.ironrockoffroad.com/Merch...egory_Code=XSP
Thanks in advance!

This includes almost everything I've done to my Jeep. Now I do have the skill. Although I have to agree with you that an 8.8 swap might not be a good place to start on the quest for knowledge.

I know a lot, and I can do a lot. I still can't weld because I don't have the materials or any practice. I'm not insulting him. I'm saying I wouldn't wanna be anywhere near him on the road if he welds up his 8.8 and sets the pinion angle himself. He doesn't seem to have the base level of experience or knowledge to tackle that project.

Lowrange2, yeah I do live in clinton where about do you live (not trying to be nosey). actually I don't have the knowledge I was going to get my grandpa to help install it or who ever can help me install it cause I'm just 19 who works at zf transmission and going to school at night so I just don't have time to learn how to weld at the moment or do any of these things just trying to get some knowledge on it.

Do you know a guy name Rusty Lawton or JD Rice? They both work at ZF.
I live in Abbeville.
