Issues with lift

[Jesse J]

I’m so excited for this thing. It sits on the wheels where it sat on the tires 

[Pete M]

it's been like 16 years now, but I still remember a point while building my 88, getting it on rims, and wondering if I may have screwed up and it'd never get out of the garage once on rubbers.   it fit just fine, but it was closer than anticipated. 

[Jesse J]

Sixteen years ago I was born! I’m really close I’m getting so excited. It doesn’t want to start. Gonna clean the plugs after school that was the issue last time

[Jesse J]

can I get the rear shaft I have extended or do I need to get a full custom rear?

[Pete M]

it is not advise to have a shaft extended due to the challenge of re-balancing.  but you can have your ends lopped off and welded on to a new tube.    all depends on what you've got in your area for a driveshaft shop.

[Jesse J]

ok thanks I will call around! are there any good writeups on how to measure for a shaft?

[Pete M]

google online driveshaft places like denny's or adam's.  they should have instructions.  

[Jesse J]

ok thanks pete! front shocks showed up today but they are for a stock xj axle so they have that cross pin thingy but my truss has kinda a post can I like press out the cross pin?

[Pete M]

I can't promise success with your particular axle, but that's how it's done on other swaps.  

[Jesse J]

just bang it out or press it out?

I wouldn’t do it. Send them back and get the right bushing ends with sleeves. I’ve done it before but it doesn’t turn out right. 

[Jesse J]

ok I will look into it
