ok guys. I'm planning on putting an 8" SJ lift on in December as that is my christmas break, and i'll have a couple weeks to get everything all together and just plug and go. However, i've got a bit of a dilemma...
i got my explorer axle about a week ago, and just goin through it getting it prepped to put it(rebuilding brakes, powdercoating, leaf perches, shock mounts...) should i wait to put it in at the same time as the lift or do it now, and re-align the angles later? Or would i be alright with the angles if i put it in now and install the lift later? I've already put a solid driveline in
and plan on pulling that cross-member out and "fabbing" it, providing quite a bit of room for the driveline when its that high... also does anyone know how often i'll be goin through u-joints after i do that? would it be beneficial to do a cv driveshaft when i can and then turn the axle?
I got a lot of questions cause i don't wanna be rattling my teeth outta my head when i'm done.
