It's correct to account for axle wrap like I said. Your problem is elsewhere - possibly bad pinion bearing or ujoint or centering ball in the rear shaft.

Any ideas on where to get a cheap u joint for my rear drive shaft? I'm doing an sye and new rear shaft on Saturday so I don't want to spend much on a ds I'm getting rid of.

Advance auto parts sells their brand for like 10 dollars iirc, is it so bad that you can't drive on it for 4 more days?

Only if you get vibes. And if you do, get an sye.

Are you asking about the parking brake lines and how they becomes too short at about 4-5" of lift. I can't believe this question isn't asked on every page. Apparently the trick is to get longer YJ lines.

The odd part for me is I thought the lines were OK after I put the lift on. Just this last week I swapped the D35 for a C8.25 with no other changes and now the lines are not long enough. I suppose it could just be how I'm jacking it this time.

what are you talking about?
I was answering someone who I quoted.
he asked "is there anything else I might need"

I replied body to axle brake line. and clearly no not the parking break the one that contains brake fluid
