Replace rear wheel cylinders and shoes. Discovers grease in the drivers side drum and axle has about 3/16" play in and out. I think I might have a bearing going bad. I have no noise while driving though.

Changed oil pressure sending unit and thermostat housing. Next on list is to find oil leak.

What auto transmission do you have? Mine is a torqueflight 999. If you could post a couple of pics it would help. I could compare to mine and we could get it figured out. But it does sound like broken shift linkage bracket.

Finished installing my 3 1/2" super lift and Currie shackles. Finished making and painting my front bumper.

Ok I moved the mount back. This is what it looks like now. The drivers side is still real close to vertical. I moved them back the same amount. Also removed both track bars. Should I remove the sway bar also? Thanks for all the help guys. :)

Thanks folks. I'll try moving it back to the next set if holes and see how that does. I appreciate the help.

No. I'm positive I didn't switch springs. They are flattened because the shackle is going back against the frame. I'm just wanting to know how to fix it.

Yes it was that way before lift. I will see if I can move bracket. I wish I could just put it back with the shackles in the front.

I just finished putting on a 3 1/2" lift on the front of my jeep. It already had the shackle reversal kit in it. It seems my shackles want to flip towards the rear and hit the frame. Shouldn't the be angled towards the front? If so how do I get them to go that way? When I put a load on the front...

My lift came in today. Now waiting on my front shackles then the work/fun begins. Can't wait to ride on non sagging springs.

Ordered new lift to replace my old sagging wore out one. Hope to install it this weekend or first of next week.

so I assume I need to change the carrier?

No tag on it just was looking at specs online. Might be 3.07. I need to pull cover and check I guess

Yes it is a six cylinder.

My '87 is an automatic so I believe the front gears are something like 3.54's. I would like to put 4.11's and an aussie locker. Do I need to change the carrier? And if so where can I get one? I'm installing a ford 8.8 rear end with 4.10's in the rear.
