I know what you are supposed to do ,but.My personal experience shows otherwise. I want to hear from people running a standard shaft.....amount of lift....and how it is set up ( pinion pointed at transfer case or " proper set up")
Here is my experience :
CJ-5 w/11.5 " suspension...pinion pointed up...no vibration...ran that way for a few years.
2 differnt samurai's w/9" suspension....same story...1 year each
CJ-5 w/6" suspension...same...for about a year
after learning what I was "supposed" to do I ran a sye cv in a cherokee installed when I lifted it..also np
and another CJ-5 w/11.5" suspension w/cv.....also np
On my standard shafts ,contrary to what they tell you my pinions were point at the transfer case all w/np

I run a SOA CJ, prolly 1" left in the rear springs. 6cyl, 999 auto, D300, and 9". I run a standard 1350 shaft, and have less than 10* at either joint. T-case was lowerd in the stock crossmember, which bolts on the frame. No vibes, but I broke a ton of 1310/1330 conversion joints before I went with 1350s.

CJ5 w/ 11.5' suspension?:eek: :eek: ;)

I dont see that 11.5':confused:
Anybody running a standard shaft with the pinion point at the transfer case ?

Oops. I meant 11.5". Thats a lot of lift on a 5. Did you extend the Wheelbase? I run a CV shaft w/ about 6" lift. Never tried running a std. shaft w/ more than 2.5".

The wheel base wasnt extended.
It was built for mud and sand.....back in the day.....(it also had a 3 " body lift) 1 ran 44 hawgs and the 2nd had 42 tsl's.
This seems like a worse case senario for a standard shaft .
Anybody out there have problems with your standard shaft and swap in a cv.....fixing your problem ?
