Yes, on both counts. My daily driver is a 2000 Jeep Wrangler. The rear axle was damaged when I bought it, and I replaced it with a Ford 8.8” axle assembly and fabricated my own adapters for it. A few weeks ago the parking brake stopped working correctly and I didn’t have time to fix it myself, so I dropped it off at a local dealership. They had no trouble repairing it, despite the fact that my Jeep came ORM with rear drum brakes and now has disc brakes on the rear.

The Ford axle swap is great, but to am 8.8?!? I thought that the Ford 9" swap was popular enough to be a factory option already )). I'm actually surprised that they did the work, that might have been technician-dependent. I'm assuming that you've got Ford calipers and rotors? Did you bring to them the parts yourself?
