Honestly, it wasn't a terrible job. I used a trolley jack under the banjo and under the torque tube where the radius rods attach. Jacked up the front jack to match the height of the u joint and pushed the jack under the banjo forward until the drive shaft was in the splines of the U joint. Once it was all aligned, went to push it home and couldn't... took a couple trips back and forth under the car to realize the top of the banjo was hitting the spring spreader... Dropped the axle a couple inches, gave it a push and it went right together.
