Ok, I think this is the right place to post this question.

I am looking at a rough country 4" suspension lift for my 87. At the same time that I put the lift in I want to swap out my axles for the D-35 and 8.8.

Am I ok ordering the kit for the 87, or do I need to pick a later year that had those axles as options?

Thanks for your help.
 
No, you're fine. The fitment of the axles is the same. :icon_thumby:
 
Cool. Thanks for the help junkie.

I guess the next question then is, are the Rough Country lifts any good. I've seen people say yay and nay, but they are half the price of any other lift kit I've looked at (part of the attraction) but I don't want to get something that's cheap if it's going to just break on me right away.

the 2 inch clearance that the articles talks about isnt a joke i punched a hole in the housing of my 35 with the 4 inch lift bracket you might have to trim the bracket some
 
If the better kits are out of your price range, then get the Tuff Country kit. At least Tuff still gives you full replacement brackets that won't bust up your axle. They're pretty decent for the money outside of the coils being pretty stiff.
