    Grabber Green 8.8

    Alright, 8.8 is in. Jimmy Mancuso says I don't need to screw with the master cylinder, or prop valve, so it stays the same. Here is my question, the pinion sets off to the right a little bit, the axle itself is basically centered in the jeep, but the driveshaft kicks a little to the right. Is this right? The track-bar isn't attached yet.
    Also, I thought the that driveshaft was supposed to be too long after getting done with this swap, but it is actually 3/4 of an inch shorter than it should be, maybe something to do with the flange type mount instead of the yoke deal? Let me know what you guys think, and I will go do a search on POR. Thanks. This is on a 99 TJ for those of you not in the know...

    Well on my YJ, it shortened the driveshaft about .5" or so, maybe a little more so that sounds about right. I think the driveshaft is kicked out a bit to the right, but I'd have to take another look at it to double check, either way its not that bad, I dont get any vibes outa the rear end and havent had a problem with it yet

    With the springover on my 8.8 it required adding 1 ¾" to the driveshaft.
    The offset is not a problem, but I installed a CV driveshaft as well.
