Slid my Axle back 1" tonight

[Cortez]

Yeeeeaaaaahhhh Baby! Nice work! Was it as simple as it looks?

[Cortez]

That may just save your fenders.

[cobshane]

Looks good, wish I could save my fenders but it looks lie they have got to go. Unless I lifted it to mud bogger status. Nahh I like a low squat look. My fenders don't look as cherry as yours though.

Zilla,

Did you see any problem with the drive shaft length?

[Jesus_man]

Huh, this maybe something I need to do. I have a steep driveshaft due to a clocked T-case, so every inch would help...

Zilla,

Yes, My shaft was extended as far as it would go because of the 3.5" lift so I knew it needed attention before this project. I took it in today to get it reworked. While at the shop I met another EB brother who has 3 Broncos and lives in Thornton. Gave him a card and told him to check us out.

Were did you take your drive shaft to. And how much if you don't mind me asking.

[cobshane]

Yeah that's a great deal for all that work. I will keep them in mind for when can actually mount my driveshaft again.

[Jesus_man]

The cost for the shaft was $165, not bad.

Yes it is. I had a new shaft built at a shop here in the 'Springs and it was that much. They did good work, but I think drivetrain here in town would be better. I'll need to lengthen my front soon so we'll see!

Sweetness yeah I was charged 230 after my engine and trans swap for the rear to convert it to a cv type and resize. But yours was already a cv? That also included a new yoke for the.d 20. So it wasn't a bad deal either. I used rocky mountian driveline.

That is great! thanks for sharing. What a simple upgrade!

Following Dan's lead I did this to mine too and I really like how it repositioned the axle in the wheel well

[Shawns Fords]

that is a good buy, my 1310 CV shaft assy with 2-1/2" tube was 175.00 and to install the spline and balance was 90.00 and 75.00 for a new end yoke (that's the yoke on the T case, so both of my T case yokes are new to fit the new CV joints) plus I had to buy another rear yoke for my rear shaft because I busted it that was another 50. they are all spicer products.

Rox,

Did you do the drive shaft stretch too?

[Jesus_man]

Trying to do this myself while fixing leaf springs. Running into a fair amount of problems, but mine's not a normal case.

Howdy Mike - hmmmm, how do I answer this without making myself look stooooopid ?

Long before I got my lift I decided to have my rear drive line rebuilt as the splines were all worn out. Knowing I was going to go with a 3.5" lift I had them lengthen it by 1" which I thought would still work with my old 2" lift.............WRONG ! It was slightly too long.

So, until I did the lift I was driving around on a drive line that Zach so kindly loaned me.

I also recommend the Drive Shaft Dr. He does awesome work at resonable prices.
