8.8 RING & PINION INSTALL KIT INCLUDES CARRIER BEARINGS/RACES & AXLE BEARINGS/SEALS - CJ Pony Parts, Inc.

TRACTION-LOK REBUILD KIT CARBON FIBER 8.8 1986-2010 - CJ Pony Parts, Inc.

I save enough for new headlights by splitting them up among dealers. Could save another $50 if I went with CJ for everything, but the free tunes for life from AM was worth it, especially since I plan on more mods this summer.

Are you doing it yourself? All it takes is time and patience don't be in a big hurry to get it done, take your time measuring, and tightening everything. That 'S' spring for the traction lock is a bugger, I compressed it in my vise then tightened a hose gear clamp around it. It then went in and I just cut the clamp and took it out. Good luck its a fun clean job.

or a couple good needle nose vise grips will work.
