Well I guess that answers that. Better get a hack n tap. Are you planning on moving your rear shock mounts closer to the axle.

Yeah those liquid iron boxes are bad ***, and yeah I was cheating with no shocks but I am going with doetsch techs that are for an 8" lift so it will bumpstop perfect and allow some good droop. I ran the same shocks on my old setup with 4.5" and 35s and it worked flawless.

yes they will "99CherokeeSport" just have to get the right ones. use google and type in your engine whether it be RENIX or H.O and just type "replacement injectors xj mustang" probably pop a whole bunch of stuff for you. lol.

XjChase, it sucks because I have been trying to avoid doing it, I got lucky because I have the longer xj shaft because my truck originally came with a dana35, but what worries me more than runout, is the binding of the ears on the yoke. :/

and as for you Grant, I was just giving you ****, that's the perfect way to check for binding. I really want those Fox shocks, they're direct bolt in and depending on which ones you buy, 10-12 inch travel. http://www.quadratec.com/products/16335_1012.htm

Yeah I dont plan on it flexing that much at all. I want a good combo of up and down travel. I eventually plan on running coilovers and making my own shock hoops under the hood. Gotta get my lockers and gears in first.

Thanks. You can really only take the junkyard parts so far you know? :/ But it's great for starters. And yeah, those fox shocks are awesome.
