Hi everyone,
I'm about to put my YJ back on the road, but I need to do a few repairs to it. Main one being the culprit for breaking it in the first place - drive line angle.
My lift was home made by creating longer shackles. I figure I have 3 options for fixing this:
Shim the axles back to the proper angle Drop the transfer case Create longer brackets for the leaf springs
I am looking for the cheapest, best option, and I will remove the body in order to repair the frame, so access will not be a problem. I also have to change the rear leaf's, so I will be getting right into the axle assembly anyways. What are the pro's and con's of each? I have a feeling that using shims is the best bet, dropping the transfer case would make my front drive shaft angle really messed and reduce the clearance, and longer brackets will give me some more (unwanted) lift and might force me to muck around with brake lines, ect.
Summer is almost here, and I am in serious Jeep withdrawl. The Cherokee just doesn't cut it!
Many thanks, Chris
