Superior 88 vs yukon ultimate 88

Rdy4rks · Mar 31, 2012

Ready to get rid of my C clips! Have spent some time reading but people seem not to give any reasons why they like or do not like them. One way or the other looking for real world input. Any help would be appreciated.

I know with superior you get the option to run 2 different bolt paterns 5x4.5 or 5 on 5.5. I am not sure if yukon offers both i dont think so but dont quote me, superior is made in the USA yukon is all being made in china now

From what I have seen Yukon does both patterns as well hadn't seen anything about production locations. Sounds like both make one hell of a kit and not much difference.

You can not go wrong with the superior product! If i was going to build a 8.8 i would not even think twice about which company i would go through. But i do not have any personal experience with building a super 8.8... Plus Superiors customer service is great!

What I figure I'm going to end up with, is a superior spool, Yukon eliminator kit, Yukon gear setup kit, 4.88 Yukon gears but i already have the gears and a crane dif cover. I have 2 drum 8.8s and a disk 8.8 but thinking I'll go disk for the yj since the width is the same so I don't think i need 1" spacers. I do appreciate the advice on the kit but other than being built over seas I haven't heard anything bad about the Yukon kit and $150 + difference is a bit hard to understand. I do hope the advice keeps coming. I'm going to order the rest of the parts once John gets back. Thanks again

If you do the c-clip eliminator kit you don't need spacers in there. The kit itself spaces it out enough.

I don't have any spacers on my 8.8 in my TJ and with 3.75 inch backspaced wheels they would rub on the stock frame a tiny bit, but not much.
