bergy Posted February 7, 2017 Report Share Posted February 7, 2017 1953 B3. Here. Stock everything Finally got my 99 Cherokee rear. Measured everything up - seems like the leaf spring pillars are within 1 inch. In width on the new rear. Is this a doable measurement or do I have to move the spring pillarsAnyone use the jeep rear as is and using the new ubolts put this together, how much modification do I gotta do? I can do it but what else do I need to know? Might the drive shaft u joint be ok?How bout the for driveshaft length? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave72dt Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 You need to check the pinion angle as well. If the angle of the Jeep axle is not correct for the truck, you'll need to cut the old perches off and correctly position them. Even if the perches are under the inch difference and the pinion angle matches, they should be removed and properly placed to reduce any bind on the shackles. After the axle is in you can measure for correct driveshaft length.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
