All depends, do you like mean vibrations and changing u-joints on a daily basis?

If not give High Angle a call! :D

If you have a 2" tube then it should be able to be modifeid easily to 34 degree's max flex- the problem now it running at 24 is alot and the max i recomend running at down the freeway- greace it every 1500 miles for sure- because its working -Jess

Does it bind at full droop? If it does then get a limiting strap or a different CV. 24 degrees down the freeway might be a little steep but it depends how many freeway miles you see anyway I'd run it and see how it does unless it binds.

Mine binds a little when flexing
mine sits about 23 degs in my driveway
Just wainting for my nuber to be drawn, i have 3 spare shafts :D, but i am stating to think its going to eat the output shafts

Yeah mine doesn't quite bind at full droop but I wonder if trying to climb a ledge it can wrap up enough to bind it. Oh well if it takes out an output then maybe I will get on with that project sooner. I got some coilovers and all the fourlink stuff on my garage floor so when I put that on I will definately need a center limiting strap.

so jesse are you talking about you recommend 24* as the most angle for your high angles or for a standard 1310 cv?

also i have heard that i can get a standard 1310 cv and use a 1330 cv case with 1310/1330 misalignment joints. (the 1330 and 1310 cases have the same length for the joint heads) this way it will allow for a little more flex. combine this with a little grinding on my t-case yoke i should be ok for flex but i am still wondering about using it as a DD.

okay - the 1330 -1310 c/v combo-(1330 c/v h-yoke) what the company doing this is trying to accomplish is more angle and it does get more angle about 40 on full flex- but its ground to death where the stregnth is on the yokes in my opinion - I have seen exactly one of these units in person it was in a ranger truck 10" lift running at 26 degree's to a 9" diff- and the reason i got to see it was it vibrated like hell- only at a certain speed- though- it had about 80 miles on it from company A , we thought maybe the spring was not inside or possibly the kit was loose or something of that sort -but this was not the case everything checked out as far as parts being loose goes- it was kinda baffling at that point - so rebalance and re-install and go for a ride again same speed vibs- we even ran it in the air simulating the road trip on the hoist - shook bad- so we got to the point of making a new shaft for this guy and trying that to see if it would cure it - and it did - although it did not flax as much as the 40 degree monster -it did run smooth- so in closing my suspession is this - the c/v center was not equal meaning the kits were .400 or so off center to one end of the c/v making the u joint angle differnt ( 10 degree's at one ) and 20 at the other thus not canceling correctly - this is just my best guess at this point - so in short i will not be running anything like this unit that you are talking about- sorry for the book here- Jess :eek:

Right!
400 for a HD output, 1500 for 4.86 gears
wow, for 2k you could have an atlas and be done with it
