This need to be a sticky! Great post!

Not only will you have to flip the leaf spring perches, but you'll have to make or buy shock tabs and weld them on to your desired location. Explorers have a completely different shock configuration. You'll need to do something with the brake lines as well. I'm working on that right now actually.

Thanks guys. It's been a great build so far. I'm running 5.13's, because I scored a sweet deal on 35x13.5 Toyo MT's, with DC something or others, and my little 2.9 could NO way handle them on the trail. Lol. I also did the D35 swap, and a number of other things. It's half truggy, and half...

That would be because I don't want LS, and I got the axle for $75. The disc brake setup was $35 from a junk yard (in great shape). My carrier had 373's and my 5.13's worked out just fine. The only 31 spline 8.8's I found in my area with disc brakes, were $350+ And just for the record, the disc...

Not to be a dick, but why on earth would you pick that motor? I know it's a good motor, and has lots of torque, but there are much better power plants to use for a swap. The amount of time, money, and frustration involved in swapping a 4.9, you could damn near do a 4.0 swap, and a SAS. Ha ha...

Replacing the battery would have no effect on the electronic shift. Sounds to me like you need to clean out your hubs. They are vacuum operated, and if they get debris in them, they won't want to engage/disengage. My 03' did it often, after going through large puddles and mud. Swapping a...

Hey guys. I just finished building my sploder 8.8, and have a question about what to use for brake lines. What I did: Removed leaf spring tabs, and relocated them to accommodate top mount leafs, eliminated the sway bar mounts, relocated the shocks so they look like this / \, installed 5.13...
