Body Damage is Cool
Anyone thinking about swapping in an Explorer 8.8 rear axle in your TJ check out the Artec axle truss 8.8 swap kit. I have mine all tacked together and it goes together very easy. I still need to test fit it before I finish welding it up and I'll post how it fits, my Jeep is my daily driver so it could be a little while before I test it. They have a truss kit for other Jeeps also, high quality parts.

95 Sportage, gone but not forgotten.
98 Jeep TJ, 4" Zone springs with RC Long arms, Ford 8.8", 4.56 gears & Detroit locker rear, D30, 4.56 & Detroit Trutrack front.

Should work fine. Look forward to hearing about your experiences with the swap.
