True those are on front axle shafts.
Been there the first time I rebuilt my dive shaft years ago... then I found these u joints, (spicer 280) they have the small grease zerts in the caps, super easy to grease and they were only 13 bucks on rock auto...
In other news, still waiting for that TNT replacment arm.....

They are kinda easy, I think they're a pain in the ass atleast with the nozzle I have. Which ended up breaking.

O'Reilly sells just the nipple to grease those.
Got the replacment arm in, had to go pick it up from UPS because TNT required a signature for some reason.
It needs dialed in, so I need some help. As it sits right now I think the axle is a little far forward. The diff is at 8 degrees putting the caster at -1 degree but the pinion angle looks almost right on. The main concern is the sway bar link hitting the coil on the passenger side... The lowers and uppers are alll the same lengths side to side and the axle looks centerd, I havent tried reseting it. SO what do you guys think/ recommend.

x2 on keeping the sway bar.
Got my BOR 4.5 inch springs, out with the nasty bastard packs..
will have to do some clearencing on my bump stop plate, luckey it just dented the shock.
Would of been done tonight but the passenger side sleeves were froze to the bolts so I had to cut them out and no one is open that had a replacment bolt, I believe is a 14x1.25 will have to source one tommorow.
Should go together quick...
And I got these to replace my mismatched chrome ones,

So I started searching for what size the leaf spring bolt was and ran across a post saying that the lower control arm bolts are the exact same which I had laying around from the recent tnt install. Thanks Kastein! So 20 miniutes later I had it together...
Its about an inch lower which is fine, but the ride is so much smoother, I cant wait to flex it out.

well finally got to try out some Micigan wheeing. Went to rocks and valleys with some yj guys. 30 minutes in, this happend...
A bad line and not being able to see much due to snow caused me to land the rear shaft dead on a rock. But I go prepared so 30 minutes later I had another shaft in and kept on wheelin.
