8.8 into 99 tj

[devlsh1]

I have a 96 Explorer 8.8 that I am getting ready to start installing into my 99 Tj. The threads I have read say I need rear upper adjustable control arms. Since I have to grind off the previous leaf spring perchs etc.. and weld on coil perchs, shock mounts, and upper/lower control arm mounts, why couldnt I just set the yoke angle I want and weld them on from there? Isnt that what the ACA would be doing?
Thanks,
Nick

Yes, you can but you typically want some adjustability as you may not get it exactly right the first time......

I figured as much, figured I would ask. What about removing the dust shields for the disk brakes...keep em or lose em?
