Agreed, I did the same.

Champion 26" 3 Core in mine... Five Years Old, No problems at all. Around $200 on Fee-Bay

I got this thing out for its Maiden Voyage today! (No Vibrations) after sitting since before the Plandemic. Everything went well, This Is gonna work!

Yeah, I really just want to Drive it around my back yard a bit and see what I got. This $700 Project turned into a $2500 Investment before I ever got to Test Drive it! At least I have a Fresh Rear End now...

For any interested... Found the Noise! It was Interference at the Front of the Driveshaft, The Yokes Make Contact at anything over 15degrees and I was at 15.50. So, I made these 1 3/8" Spacer Blocks for the...

Has a Clutch Fan on the Passer-Side and an E-Fan on the Drivers-Side. and Yeah, I'll move it forward if the shimming doesn't bring it in.

This is a Brand-New Fresh Built Rear... Spins Real nice. But, I'll Spin it again tomorrow and report back.

Wow! Thanks Alot Garrett! Makes No GottDanned Sense but Makes Sense too!? :BangHead:

Okay, but it is Really hard to tell! That noise transfers everywhere, at first I thought it was in the wheel hubs!

Here's a Full-Length Pic. I really don't know what I'm looking at. Does it look wrong?

I'm not sure yet what a "Slip Yoke Eliminator" is but I Can Move the Rear Forward to close that gap. Spring Perches give some options... but Thinking about it, Wouldn't Shimming the Pinion up and Shimming the Transfer-Case Down put the Shaft back "In" the proper depth?

This is what the Shaft Looks like from the Pics that I already have (No Full-Length Pics yet) The Solution is Shims between the Leaf-Pad and the Leaf-Springs on the Back-Side of the pads, Correct?

Has Adjustable Leafs too but That wont help because the Hole it was in is the Only one I can use... The next hole Above and Behind it puts the Shackle in a Bind inside the Mount. (What a Shitty Design, Thanks China!) Can't even get the Bolt in when trying to use the Upper Row of holes. Genius!

So, I bought this Crappy Project for a Winter Toy/3rd Vehicle. I got it running and attempted a Test-Drive. ('95 Cherokee w/270k miles) ChittyChitty BangBang ClunkClunk Pop! Rear-End is about to Jump Out of this thing. So up on Jackstands and have a Look and Listen Running, in Drive. Pop Pop...

High-Gloss Paint cleans-up easily and dries-out even faster! One drip from that Heater-Core and You'll know it immediately.
