I didn't. I drilled a 7/8s hole and used these. Way easier and don't have to worry as much as trying to drill a tapered hole top dead center and level.

Breaking five drill bits doesn't sound easier or cheaper than reaming. Nice work regardless. Props for getting an axle into a car trunk.
reading is not your best skill is it Tommy?
looks good and I hope you put some locktite on those spacers
Next up is the 8.8 install. Ordered a swap kit with the truss from iron rock offroad.
Also ordered a matching diff cover for it and all new brakes, cross drilled and clotted rotors and some bilstien 5100s.
Checked to make sure of the 4.10 gears. No burnt oil. Everything looks good.

Got rid of this jumble of mess while I was under there and swapped in a 96 grand Cherokee proportion valve.

Getting welded up

All Welded up. Accidently didn’t put the shock mounts level with each other. Don’t really care though. Not going to mess up anything. I started to redo them but I realized that I didn’t have enough room to get the cut off wheel in there to cut them off. So oh well.

ALL DONE!

Clean!
You taking this thing to Alto?
Nope. Front axle is has bent tubes and 3.55 gears. Wouldn't be to great with the 4.10s.
Hell, just don't put it in 4wd on the hard pack, you'll never notice it! That, and since the axle is already bent, who cares if it tacos completely! It'll make for good video!
Oh, and did you notice your shock mounts are askew a tiny bit..... :flipoff3:
Man, you get stuff done. Nice!
Thanks!
Looks good.
Only thing you might want to rethink is cutting off those shock mounts and moving them up higher(level with the axle tube). They are probably going to get ripped off at some point and possibly destroy a shock with it.
