OK Well its time to start getting the pieces together for a regear and I figure while in there why not Make my 8.8 the best it could be.

1. Does anyone run c clip eliminators? I am not sure but I believe using stock 9 inch parts elimination of c clips will give you worry free full floater action. without having to woryy about axles wondering out the tubes.

2. Does anyone run chromo? Or is chromo complete overkill with the 8.8?

3. What kind of rear traction device should I use? Spool,welded? Can a lsd be welded? Has anyone stuffed the clutch packs? How hard is the detroit on the street? Or is this one place where I need to bite the bullet and pick up a selectable?

I use my yj as a daily driver and I wheel once a month in all different enviroments. The most tho at cliffs insane terrain. mucky hill climbs

and gullies

I don't think you will need chromos chris and a spool or a welded rear end on a DD is probably not the greatest idea, when I took mine around the block I don't think that detriot in the back had any effect.  And you know my truck I have been running that lockrite for about 7 years now on the 8.8 and no problems

I know it is an old post but…

You can not make the 8.8 a full floater with 9" parts because the 9" is not a full floating axle!

Yeah, he knows all about it… now.

I did find an Aussie for the 8.8. $260 from Northridge 4x4 is the best price I've found. It's either that or a $600 detroit from a guy on pirate. That price difference can afford me set rubber Q's!
