[QUOTE="Walt Jaquith, post: 429680, member: 18654"] The slip yoke eliminator is in, and the 8.8 is fitted. I'll order the driveline today. Final driveline angle was 8.8 degrees at ride height, accounting for the offset of the 8.8. The E-brake cables from the 94 Grand Cherokee (installed when I converted the old axle to disk brakes) fit the Ford emergency brakes perfectly. I have rubber brake lines, new calipers and various little parts coming this week. I'm going to redo the lower shock mounts, and probably replace the shock absorbers. The ones on there were leftover from my son's JKU lift, and they're a bit stiff for my much lighter yj. They're also a little long, which hasn't been a problem since I don't wheel this rig much, but I can get shocks with the right travel and valving and be done with it. [/QUOTE]
