TJ 8.8 Swap Kit with Truss Reviews

5 Rating 48 Reviews
What a well thought out kit. This was started and finished within a day. Well the fab part was a bit longer for paint. Thick steel and really beefy. Adds a bit of weight so if thats a concern.... I would recommend for sure.

Excellent kit Follow the instructions and it goes together well. Two things I would recommend Setting pinion angle is dependent on type of Drive shaft you plan on using. If you plan on using a SYE kit and a double cardan driveshaft follow the instructions. If you plan on using the factory driveshaft it is important to set your pinion angle accordingly to avoid driveline vibration. Second I found I need to rotate the shock brackets towards the back to allow the shocks to clear the brake lines.

This is a great kit for anyone looking to swap out their old axle for a ford 8.8 the instructions make putting the kit together very simple and the whole feel of the kit once installed is just solid. However even though the instructions make this kit easy to assemble it is not a job for just anyone. This kit requires a lot of welding and taking your time to make sure every angle is what you want. The whole process took me about 2 days from tack welding and putting the rear in the jeep 3 or 4 times till I got everything just how I wanted it and then welding everything in its place. So if you are capable of doing the welding or know someone who can do the welding for you then I strongly recommend this product to anyone who is looking to do the 8.8 swap in their Tj.

This kit made my swap extremely easy. I couldnt be happier with it. The truss looks beautiful and is very well designed. I look forward to many years of smiles and abuse. Thanks for a great American made product

Product is amazing. Install was super easy as everything is jigged. You cant really mess this up as long as you get your pinion angle set correct from the start. I have recommended to a few people already and only had it for a month. Ease of install is rediculous.

I purchased this for my grandson who is in the Navy. I installed the kit on a 8.8 Ford here in Indiana then drove to Norfolk Virginia to install it in his TJ. Everything fit perfect with no additional modifications. This kit is awesome and looks very impressive. We have not installed the Slip Yoke Eliminator kit yet so we had to cut 1 from the transfer case output shaft and 1 from the driveshaft yoke. It has a vibration from 30 to 40 mph so hopefully the SYI kit will fix that.
