7 1/4" to 8 3/4" rear end swap advice

Like they said, floor jack will make the job easy. Put 10x2.5 inch brakes on mine after install of housing. You did not mention shock plate for U bolts. This is different than one for 7 1/4. E brake cables not sure of. Appear to be same length. Give them a try. I purchased new ones. Drive shaft will be too long. As mentioned, you need to know what size yoke you have. Think 7290 comes to mind. I swapped my yoke to 1350 but not necessary at all.
