I finally put my 8.8 under the Jeep. I got it from another Jeeper who'd had it under his YJ before electrical gremlins finally caused him to give up and part it out. I had nothing to do with the shock or spring pad welding and that's where my problem are. I've got a SYE and what I imagine is a custom length drive-shaft. I ran into 2 problem during the install that are causing me to drive around in 4WD with my rear drive-shaft disconnected and sitting on the passenger floor. When I had the Jeep on jack-stands in front of the spring perches, I believe this represent more or less full droop. When I go to hook up my drive-shaft there are 2 problems. 1 the shaft is 100% compressed. I had to put a flange adapter on the end of the drive-shaft and this may be where the extra length is coming from. 2 the axle is barely pointed at the t-case at all. So I figure what I need to do is 1 have the static portion of my drive-shaft shortened and 2 get some bigger degree shims to point the axle up. Agree? Disagree? Bueller?

Thanks

Get the driveshaft from the last guy if he hasnt already sold it. Thats what i would do.

Sadly the driveshaft got sold with the transfer case. Long gone. I'm on my own for what it might have looked like. I figure once I get the degree shims in, I can make an estimate for how much I need knocked off my drive-shaft. The trick is going to be how much shim to put in. I don't want to screw that up. Anyone who's got a SUA 8.8 have any idea what angle their axle is pitched at?
