YJ 8.8 axle swap Questions

[MonsterWrangler]

I just purchased a ford 8.8 rear out of a 94 ford explorer and the yoke on the 8.8 is like a circular flat piece of metal with like 6 bolt holes and my yj driveshaft has a u-joint.........so how do I adapt to this?? Any info on 8.8 axle swap to a yj will be appreciated!

Thanks

***We now have available the unique yoke that is needed to adapt the stock size U-joint (YJ or XJ rear drive shaft, 1310 series Spicer) to the Ford 8.8 rear pinion flange. Pictured above upper right."

I think I bought my yoke adapter from MORE also. It's been quite a while. Do a search for Joe Dillard. He's posted lots of pics of his 8.8 conversion. I'm sure within his pics is an example of the part you'll need.

well thats what you get when you just look at the pictures and don't read anyhting. sorry about that. :bangnerd:

I used/run the Spicer yoke adapter PN 2-2-1379 since I run a 1310 series rear driveshaft rear ujoint.

If you run the 1330 series ujoint, the Spicer PN 2-2-1378 will do the trick.

Also, you'll also need the flange bolts for the 8.8” which are 12mm x 1.75 thread 12 point, Ford P/N N800594-S100.
