Yes. The manuals are a few inches shorter than the AW4, you'll need to get a correctly sized DS

On CL...

$180 for RuffStuff frame stiffeners

$60 Rustys Steering Box Brace

Thinking about getting both (not same place)

Worth it?

I mean, I'd really only be saving shipping.

It's too short - I'm not sure if it will even rear the output shaft. If it does it'd probably fall off the first speedbump you went over.

Aren't you just replacing your old 35 with another 35 out of an auto? If so, is your old DS in usable shape?

This is what I was thinking, but I thought I had missed something.

Its a long story, but I'm putting a Dana 35 from an automatic in a Manuel Xj. Old ds is fine.

How much lift would you guys guess the 4.5" RE Super flex kit(Short Arm) would net? 5" in front and 5.5-6" in the rear? From the sounds of it, it won't settle much more than that.
