8.8 in a zj

[xdgedgex]

has anyone had any experience putting a 8.8 or other axle in a ZJ or even tj? i ask because i am trying to figure out how to set the pinion right once i have the brackets from the 35c welded onto the new axle. also anyone want to help me out doing it this weekend? only the coil buckets, lower control arm mounts, and upper rock krawler tri-link truss(i know exactly where that goes). thanks guys

I might be able to swing by late sunday (wedding to go to saturday& birthday party sunday afternoon). To figure out pinion angle, you need to degree the original. then then you mock up the new one, set the pinion angle at what the original was. you might want to adjust it a degree or three to compensate for the lift (ie. Point it towards the T-case)
