I want to do it sunday, but I was hoping to find someone with a garage. Paul W offered, but thats a hell of a drive. Worst comes to worst, we can do it at my dads in Willimantic. Should have the tools we need there.

It also needs a pinion yolk seal. From what I gather this should be a pretty simple swap. hopefully the drive shaft length will not be a problem with the 3 inch lift, and the brake lines and ebrake lines should swap right over from the d35, and I'm hoping my drums and shoes I had just bought for the D35 will fit on the 8.25 also. I dont see why they wouldn't. Also picking up a ZJ V8 steering setup from a guy in RI tomorrow.

The pinion yoke seal might require a dial gage inch/lb torque wrench which are pretty expensive and not easy to find. You can mark the pinion shaft and count the number of turns to remove the nut. It should be close enough to not mess up the gear lash.

I think my dad has one of those, does it look like a bow and arrow?
BlacXJeep:
Since the yoke on the 8.25 sticks out about an inch more than on the dana 35, is my driveshaft going to be to long? If it is too long should I get rid of the TC drop, and try running it without.? Or should I just get an 8.25 drive shaft?
