So I added .75 lift spacer to the front springs to even out the ride after the 8.8 install. I was wondering would I have to extend the LCA or the UCA after adding this spacer. The axle just doesnt apper to be sitting on the jeep write. All the length of the arms and the track bar are the...

Thanks! That is very helpful for a starting point! I really appericate it!

I have a friend that has installed 8.8 in TJs and been able to follow the install instrustions in the kit. He wanted me to ask if someone that has done this swap could give me some ruff estimates on the perch locations (how far in from the disks...and the recommend pinion angle. I have 4.5...

I went ahead and adjusted both of them to the right length when I was setting the trac bar. Im planning on just takeing it to a shop to do the front end alinement because I just do not trust my self since this is the first vechile I have ever built up. I have to get a new exhuast welded up...

Finally got the jeep sitting on its own weight last night. However I noticed before i sat it down that the LCAs were off so I measured them. The passenger side is 15 7/8 inches and the driver sider is 16 1/8 inches. Is this a big deal or can i go with it. It looks to be sitting level and not...

Thank to everyone. It was just weird too me. The guy I bought it from said it was an 88 that is what I was going by. Again thank for the responses and the help!

Its not the vacuum axle, so there is no disconnect. What i can not understand is why when i turn the axle shaft on the passenger side the yoke will turn freely, but when i turn the yoke the axle shaft will not turn. The shaft will turn alittle, but then stop, so its like something is not...

I bought a 88 hpd30 and replaced the knuckles, hubs, ball joints..everything went back together good and easy but now my passenger side axle shaft will not turn. You can turn it by hand but when you try to turn the yoke the axle shaft sits still. You can feel the gears trying to turn the axle...

I just gave up and bought a new balljoint. Ha

Thanks! I have a file after I saw this from work, that Im going to use tonight, I also have a tread setter file that I was able to borrow from my family mechanic, thank the lord my parents have used him for 20+ years, so he is very helpful. It looks like a file but has different thread pitches...

I messed the threads up on one of my ball joints and I was needing to know the thread pitch, so I can get a die to try and fix the treads. I was told that it is 3/4 by 20, was just seeing if this is right?

Thanks for all the help! NOthing is fully tighted down, just hand tight so parts dont fall off, but i should expect these problems with building my first jeep.

Thanks for the help.
