  • good deal on this axle?

    ok so i found a guy selling an hp30/8.8 combo in Rochester NY both with 4.88s and lockers ready to bolt into a ZJ....hes willing to split the axles and he said hed be looking at 600$ for the 8.8...

    you guys think i should stick with the 8.8 w/4.10s i was going to pickup locally OR should i buy this guys and skip 33's and wait till i can properly afford a setup for 35's? the local 8.8 is 150$ then id need to get it installed for whatever and just look out for some 33's...

    the other route id need alittle more lift/more trimming gears for the front and the 8.8 installed anyway...

    the gears/lockers are 2 years old he claims...

    also will a LP30 on 35's w/ 488s hold up? locked?

    I wouldn't do it.

    The 4.88 pinion gear is going to be tiny, followed by the already weak LP30 gearset. The price difference between a LP/HP30 is so minimal I don't see why you would bother.

              TJ's and WJ's have different rear axle bracketry than ZJ's, if that's what you were saying.

              Pretty sure the only thing that it would be bolt into would be another ZJ.
