Dana35 swap?

[88BII got it for $250]

Hi guys, just finished the dana35 swap into my 88BroncoII and had a question.
It looks to me that the axle, drivers side with the diff. is realy close to the bump stop. Like realy close It looks out of camber like maybe its sagging?
Here is what I used
94 dana35 out of explorer.
88 BroncoII radius arms.
88 BroncoII springs and shocks
94 Explorer draglink, mine was toast.

It does not sit "lop-sided" so if it is sagging its on both sides. Im sure it could be cambered to fix the camber issue.
I just wanted to know if anyone els has had this problem, I am working on the 8.8 swap now and would like to fix this issue asap. thanks.

It will need to be aligned with the new axles. When I put my 35 in there was no issue with it sagging or anything. Then again, I also put f150 coils in it at the same time...

Most likely your sag is due to whipped coil springs. I also used the radius arms from my BII with the D35, no issues there either. Grab some explorer or F150 coils, depends on how high you want the truck to be. I put explorer rear springs in a couple years back and just put in the coils I had when I did the D35. Brought the truck up of the wheels in both cases. I knew the backs were bad but didn't realize how bad the fronts were until the axle swap.

The D35 also uses a different driverside bumpstop (it's angled where it hits the beam, and is a little shorter profile). Though it also does sound like your springs may be shot too.

Ok, The info for the bump stops helps a bit.
I am ordering a skyjacker(extended radius arms) lift friday dont know if it will be 4inch or a 6inch yet, need to think it over. But with that said that should fix it if its the springs. I just dont see how it was fine with the dana28 then went to $#!t as soon as the dana35 was in.
Eather way, I will continue with the 8.8 and post a picture tomarrow some time.
Thanks for the help guys.

Have you aligned it yet? If the wheels are toed-out, it'll cause the suspension to squat down as you drive forward (it'll actually raise up when you go in reverse too). Vice-versa if it's toed-in.

Ohh really?
No I have not had it alined yet, decided to wait till the lift kit was installed so I dont have to pay twice.

The Dana 35 uses a different bump stop than the Dana 28.

the one for the 35 is much shorter.

Yes, it happens because the tires are trying to drive away from (or toward) each other if the toe alignment is off. This in turn "spreads" (or "pinches") the suspension, changing it's height (an effect sortof like how a scissors lift works, sortof).

The Dana 35 uses a different bump stop than the Dana 28.

the one for the 35 is much shorter.

I think I said that already
