Thanks! It’s been torn apart so long and I had been so busy traveling it was starting to drive me nuts. Really enjoying the process now that we ve had a bit of home time.That's going to look great when it's done.
The 94-up trucks use those rod type exhaust hangars. You might be able to find something at the yard that would just bolt on.I still have to fab 3 frame brackets to hang it from. Not too difficult, I think for the front at back of cab I will snag a fuel tank front bracket from the treasure yard that’s 1/2 mile from the house. Think I can cut it down and invert it, then put a rubber centered hanger just like the stock one at back of cab. Center will take a lil cutting and welding and tie it into the crossmember and frame/shock bracket. Or I may shorten the original transmission mount, invert it because they have a relief that looks to clear the top of the gas tank an gain a little more rigidity in the frame just ahead of the axle. E-brake cable will need some minor re-routing but think I got that figured out.
I have an '88 with the jeep shaft no issues getting it aligned, etc.I’ve heard of the Jeep part swap and also heard some shops won’t perform alignments on them due to a “possibility” it can get jammed or hung up somehow causing a safety concern so they don’t want the liability? Maybe I read it somewhere here, need to look into it further myself though. $15 is definitely better than the $175 from Borgeson, thanks for bringing it up!
