Rear Brakes and Suspension.....Done!

yes, about the same as my setup. I got the Johnny Joints from Currie and the telescopic shafts custom made. these shafts are used on rock crawlers and all you need to tell them is the lenght of the stock shaft yoke to yoke and the yoke size, I think mine were around $300 shipped but that was a few years ago.
 
I know this is old, but what did you do to fix the issue with the brake line and parking cable being too close to each other

I was able to get about an inch between the cable and line. That should work but, that is something I will keep an eye on.

That’s the same thing I’m getting
Guess I too will need to watch it
Mine looks just like yours
Good work by the way
 
For what it is worth, I saw a picture the other day that showed a 3” piece of foam tubing over the e-brake cable to prevent rubbing.
 
I did cover the rubber line with a metal spiral shield. I'll still keep an eye on it.

Where did you get the spiral shield for the rubber line? Mine is like yours way too close!
 
I got it from a friend who was a commercial electric contractor. It's more like a spring than a true spiral wrap (like you would use for a wire harness).
 
I had to lookup this thread again. I've got to take my differential out this winter to check out the source of the left output yoke endplay. Depending on what I see and what it costs me in time and money to rectify it, I may consider a similar setup as yours to take the side loads off the output yokes. With the C4 batwing I have, and the bulky sized C4 rear knuckles, the upper link packaging may be an interesting challenge.

A question: What is involved in the shortening of those shafts? Any re-splining required?
