i just but new leafs from the jy and grabbed 8.25 leafs i was just wondering how hard it would be to put these on a dana 35 rear the shackles look like the fit in the place of my old shackes just wondering if i would run into any problems thanx

 

The pads and u-bolts for the 8.25 are 3" in dia,yours is 2-3/4". You need the smaller pads and u-bolts.

 

ne thing else i meed like are the shackles the same size or....

 

I am sorry,when I read your post the first time I thought you were changing rearends,if all you are doing is leafs you should be fine with what you have as long as they are in good shape still.

 

Springs and shackles are the same for both axels...

 

oh ok cause the leafs i bought used are like 1/4 to 1/8 wider then the dana 35 ones that are on it now and he had a chrysler 8.25 and i guess a factory tow package but i should be good then (the leafs are in very good condition aside from a lil surface rust that i sanded away...i would like to do a 2-3 inch lift while im at it tommorow i was planning on getting v8zj coils and a 3" block or a 2" block but i was just wondering how much lift the zj coils actually give that will determine what blocks i get also so if any one nows or has done this let me know how much lift you actually get thanx in advance
