Im not 100% sure yet, i did a lot of calling around and found a drive line shop near buy that helped, what the dude came up with is a Combination
U- Joint # 2-1153, so he explained that i have a Saginaw s/44 drive shaft end 2-3011 and a spicer 1350 pinion yoke, so thats how he came up with the 2-1153 combination U-Joint, now some of the earlier zr-2's dont have this problem and its a straight swap.... the rear i purchased i think is a 2003 rear... im also trying to see if i can get a different pinion yoke and not have to bother with the combination joint..

notice how the horizontal cups have a groove, and the vertical does not, also the horizontal cups are 1-1/8" and the vertical cups are 1-3/16" thats the pinion side

for those interested, i found a place called Madisonpowersystems.com in Michigan, they will custom make a set of parking brake cables for me, whatever length i need, for $69. each, more than i want to spend, but it will be right and safe,and pass inspection..

picked up the 2-1153 u joint today, tightened up some bolts, and i do have some slop in the rear u joint, so i will replace asap, im working all weekend at my job, so i will get it done possibly Monday when i get home.
Also i gave the T-Bars 3 more turns, the front is only 1-1/2" lower than the front, and the front CV's are just starting to get some angle in them, so i will just redrill my 3leaf shackles and that should level it out.. untill later
