8 3/4 installation

You will need to have the stock driveshaft shortened,
you need the 8 3/4" Shock mounts, and the larger 8 3/4" Ubolts/nuts etc.

This is not a beginners type swap.

A beginner is totally capable of it though, I did one myself :cheers: I had the bigger shock mounts that came with the rear when I bought it and I bought 3 inch U bolts from Summit for my front loader. Bought a nice driveshaft for 100 bucks and away we go. Bolt the crap right on 8)


And @ Optik, I didn't even need to unbolt the leafs from the hangers, I just pulled the old rear right out over the springs, and put the 8 3/4 in the same way, over the leafs. I did it on a 72 Swinger which has a nice spot in the frame rails where I put some cribbing to keep it pretty high up in the air.
