that's all I needed to know, thank you!

that's not what I meant. I know they won't thread into eachother. I ordered threaded tube adapters for there rod ends. just worried about if it will spin for adjustment.

I am doing new qa1 Rod ends, using my rugged ridge steering setup. The tre's that come with the kit are 7/8 -18, the new qa1 ends are 7\8 -14 will I have problems adjusting the drag link if I use one of each on either end?

I was just wondering what you guys do for an extended brake line when you swap your 8.8? My brake line seems like it will be to short on full droop.

I'm looking for a set of rear shocks. Something around a 3" lift shock or a 14" collapsed shock is what I need.

First of all thanks for the compliment. I use write ups for 90% of my upgrades, just because i'm a do-it-yourselfer and realize the importance of a thurough explanation. Expecially with pics! As for my durango box from Everdrive I have not had any problems. They are actually rebuilt boxes from...

I did end up talking to Josh at IRO and he assured me that he has a guy running 4 of them stacked for a 1" space. So I went ahead and ordered them, they should be here first part of the week. As far as welding them goes, I guess it would be okay for a trail rig but not for a street vehicle...

I searched for quite a while yesterday and didn't come up with anything over .75" that you could buy as one piece. It would be nice to find something like that though.

Like I said, I already have a New TW driveshaft. I talked to josh at IRO and he said that they could be used upto 6 at a time. This would be at your own caution of course. He said that they had a guy using 4 of them for a total of 1" and it is working perfectly. This is probably what I will do.

Well IronRock Off road make some but they are only 1/4" thick. I wonder how many is safe? I need atleast 1" but 1.5" or so would be nice.

Okay I did search and can't really seem to come up with anything. I finally got my jeep back from getting my 8.8 swap and gears installed. Now all I need to do is order shocks and I would like to add a spacer between my TW driveshaft and the flange yoke on the 8.8. The pinyon is a little shorter...

I live in GJ also. I'm 27yrs old and have a Wife, 4yr old daughter, and a bun in the oven. I run a 99 xj with RE LA 4.88s and 33's. I Manage/Assist at Clifton Lube Center on F rd in Clifton.

Okay the reason I started this topic is because I have a friend who is from the "muscle car" era. He used to be the president of our local Mopar club back in the day. Anyways he now has a 95 XJ 8.25 and D30. He wants to swap those out for somthing more substantial. He also has a 96 ram with the...

Has anyone thought about swapping the Dodge 8.75 axle into the rear of the xj? From what I understand they come from the 70's to early 80's cars and trucks. Just want opinons on what ideas come to mind.
