That may just save your fenders.

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?

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

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.

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

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.

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

Re: Slid my Axle back 1" tonight
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?

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.
