i just put a 6" lift on my 79 chevy with a dana 60 on it.
Here is the problem, i have a 4sp manual transmition so my front drive shaft is about a foot and a half long. the drive angle will not reach to the yoke of my D60. i looked at the U joint from the Xcase and it looks like some bump stomps / limiter nubs on the front drive shaft to keep it from dropping to far down. i probably have to grind these off to make it reach, but when i get my truck offroad and get some flex out of it, it looks like it will still break something since my driveshaft is so short and the drop angle will be to great. has anyone else had this problem? or know a fix for it?
And i know i need to get my driveshaft lengthened, but this will not fix the problem i am talking about.
