- '79 Cj5, 258 with Howell Fuel injection kit, T18 with dana 20 Tcase, dana 30 front with Detroit locker, AMC 20 rear with LSD and one piece shafts, Warn 8k winch, 1" body lift, 2" suspension lift, 33 tires
I'm really not sure how long the u joints will last. I know the higher the angle the shorter the life, but that's about all I know.
Is the other tcase also a Dana 20 ? 2 different rear output shafts were used on the Dana 20 . I don't remember the spline count, but one was a coarse spline (around 10 i think) and the other was a fine spline (around 26/27). You'll have to check the splines to see if the DC yoke will work for your tcase. Or if the rebuilt one is a Dana 20 , you could just use that tcase.
As far as the rear, yes, cutting the perches and rewelding them would actually be preferred over using shims, especially large ones. If you go this route, I would remove any current shims and just have the perches set correctly.
The rebuilt one is a Dana 20 . That one has the 10 spline count and I bought the yoke for that so I know it will fit if I swap it out with the Transfer Case that's in there now. Is there a maximum angle for tilting the rear Pinion?
