92 axle swap from 96

[Jimbo92]

aight guys heres the deal, a buddy of mine totaled his 96 sport in the front. i have the 8.8 with 3:27 gears with drums in my 92. He has the 8.8 w/ 3:73 gears l/s and disc brakes. where i come in is that if i change axles with his x i get his axle for free, i need to know what i need to strip off his x to make the discs work on mine properely and any other tidbits i may need to know so any info is appreciated.
im also gettin his yakima rack and class III hitch too so i think im gettin a sweet deal

You're 2WD right?

I'm pretty sure the axle and brakes would be a complete bolt on. I've swapped axles before but never from drums to discs. You might want to check therangerstation.com for a writeup.

Paul Gagnon did a writeup on this a while back. I also did a writeup on swaping just the disc's.

Anyway, what you want it the entire rear axle including the parking brake cables, lines, hoses, etc.. You will also need the parking brake intermediate cable. Be sure to grab the master cylinder and brake booster. The boosters are the same, but your's may be worn out. One last thing to get is the speedometer gear for the 3.73 gear ratio.

Now if you have 4x4, you'll need to match the front gears with what's in the rear. If needed, I have a dana 35 front pig all setup with 3.73's i'll sell. It's ready for a bolt in deal.

do you have the entire dana 35 axle? my rig is a two wheel drive that i am interested in converting to 4x4. if u have the whole axle that would be great thanks

I have the axle and everthing else needed to do a 4x4 swap for the front axle. However, you may want to check into shipping.
