Re: Update on Ford 8.8 Axle Swap into a Jeep YJ
The pictures are fixed now, thanks for letting me know.
I've been driving the Jeep all week, and I have absolutely no vibration at all from the drive shaft. I think the drive shaft looks steeper than it really is in the pictures. I have a 2.5" lift with a 1" transfer case drop. The drive shaft angle is now smaller than it was before the swap because I was able to set the angle of the pinion before welding. A slip yoke eliminator or custom drive shaft is prolly the way to go, but when you are out in the boonies and got to drive home, you do your best. :) The drive shaft is just as straight as it was before I shortened it. I made sure to take my time with the alignment of the two pieces before welding them together. The drive shaft is just as strong as it was before if not more, plus, a shorter drive shaft has a greater cushion for error. That is how I at least rationalized cutting it. I'll make sure and post again if I have any problems with it, but for now, things seem to be all good.

Hi Brent,
Denial is not just a river in Egypt. This is your excuse to make a new driveshaft with a Constant Velocity Universal Joints.

Hey Bill,
Well you know.. experience is something you don't get until just after you need it. :) Judging from that website, it looks like a slip yoke eliminator would work out well with my setup, good to know. -Brent Bogrees '89 Jeep Wrangler YJ 2.5L TBI – 33x10.5 BFG MT's '94 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4.0L – 31x10.5 BFG AT's http://www.chrr.ohio-state.edu/~bogrees/html/Jeep.html L.W.(ßill) ------ III <----------@cox.net> wrote in message news:<3FA95FBF.FD99187C@cox.net>... > Hi Brent, > Denial is not just a river in Egypt.
