CEThomas Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Getting ready to go get the rear DS cut down. For everyone that has a 8.8 SOA, did you use a t-case drop??? Or leave the t-case at the OEM height. With what I have to pay, I want to get the DS work done right the first time 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 High angle? You're thinking of XJs and other short wheelbase rigs with their tiny driveshafts. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEThomas Posted November 22, 2007 Author Share Posted November 22, 2007 Well, Higher then when it was 2wd and 6.5" lower :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Just be sure to replace the U-joints. They tend to dislike any changes to their operating angles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twisty Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 My SOA in the rear is close to 7.5" and I have no vibs at all. I've been up to ~75mph too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEThomas Posted November 22, 2007 Author Share Posted November 22, 2007 New u-joints all the way around :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
