good late model axle swap Qs

An 8.25 from an F body will fit, but might be pretty close on the wheel wells. Cut off the old spring seats and weld them on .75 inches inward and you are good. From another thread here, you can use the brake setups off of a 1996 to 1999 Jeep Cherokee are bolt ons for 8.25.

I've never tried an 8.8 swap, but I have heard it's been done. I think there was a thread on here about it somewhere.
