Now that I found the springs at a pretty good deal.. I think I'm going skyjacker nitro shocks, new u bolts and new shackle bushings. Probably a t case drop kit as well, hear its a good idea..
All soaking in PB.. Can someone help me decipher what U-Bolts I need?
Here's a list of the component box included with a 2.5 inch lift, but since I purchased everything separate I still need the bolts.. Just can't figure it out hah!

So got everything put on except a few springs so I sent it to the shop..
They threw them on and problem is that the springs were said to be 2.5' lift when they're actually a 4' -_-...
Looks awesome but I've already blown a brake line driving it once, and even with beefy shims I now need to lower my transfer case (got a pretty noticeable driveline vibe) an like I said NO BRAKES!
O, I also paid for all new u bolts and they reused my old ones.. Ugh..

If you get them yourself and have a friend help it will run 40 bucks .The lines come in different lengths and go for 2 to 8 bucks a piece.I did all the way around mine.A shop is going to rack you for alot of money that you don't have to spend.A couple of wrenchers some brake fluid and beer can get it done.
The angle is nearly appropriate for a slip yoke shaft, but it is steep. The lowering kit should help that. With a slip yoke, the pinion angle should be parallel to that of the TC output shaft. With a CV shaft (which you don't have), the pinion should be angled approximately 2 degrees below a straight line from the pinion to the TC output shaft. I'd be careful with that until you get the lowering kit on. Doesn't look like you have much "slip" left on that output shaft.
Not quite sure what you mean... Do you mean cut and extend your DS the way it is now? If you TC drop is on the way, just don't droop your rear to the point of disconnecting the shaft at the TC. Or, if you haven't ordered the drop kit and want a homebrew solution, get a couple of pieces of 1 or 2 inch square tubing, cut to length, mark your holes and use that to drop the TC/skid. Either way, you want your pinion angle to parallel the TC output with the slip yoke in there or if you go with a SYE, you want the pinion to point directly at the TC output and then drop it about a degree or two.
For some reason I was thinking of the front shaft (different style).. Anyway I like the idea of making some! What size tubing would you recommend? No bushings or anything? Thanks buddy
Waz if you want to bend metal into a snorkel id love you forever lolol
