[LS short box]

I have a 98 Wrangler with a LS6/4L60E combo. I swapped in a Explorer 8.8. Fairly typical swap for the Wranglers. Stock 4:10, posi and disc brakes. The pinion is offset a bit but I forget how much. I cut off the Explorer axle mounts and added the aftermarket Wrangler 4 link brackets. It's been 15 years with zero issues. I think the Explorer axles are 31 spline. The offset has not caused any vibration or u-joint issues. I think I paid $400 for it complete back 15 years ago.
