Ford 8.8 axle swap
Axle:
Anyone have some free time tonight to help me do a test fit? Yeah, the weather won't be the greatest, but that doesn't bother me if it doesn't bother who ever wants to help! ;)
One-Eye:
Let me see what the woman has going on. I think she is gone for the night so I will repost again in about 30 minutes.
Axle:
One-eye, you have been pm'd. 8)
Axle:
The test fit went great! After everything was finally set in place, I raised the axle to normal (or as close as I could) ride height and checked the pinion angle. It was about 17.5. I also checked the driveshaft and I'm glad JB Conversions is sending me the shorter yoke. The driveshaft didn't have much compression left. I think after everything is bolted back together, I might have to adjust the upper control arms to increase the pinion angle just a bit, because 17.5 just didn't look quite good enough. In this case, low is good, because I can lengthen the control arms to increase the angle. So, burn baby burn!!! Hopefully Sunday Scott will be able to do the final burn and then she'll get bolted under the jeep.
Axle swap this Sunday! ;D
