This one for all you guys running toy gear. Can i run a centered rear axle with out too much vibes? I have wrangler springs with rancho add a leafs and trail tough missing links. I think I could run my 35 or 37 boggers then:rasta: !!!!!! Any help and hints are great thanks guys. And no the ride is still about the same just not as mushy.

Have read a lot about this recently, and have run this setup with success. Use a CV driveshaft, Do the search.

get rid of the missing links and the add a leafs....If you want some more highth get some 2.5" Rancho Yj's....that will work just fine!
The missing links cause too much axle wrap....
And then order the high angle cv driveline (41*) long travel....it will run smooth at 25*.

Arizona Driveline!

The CV is exactly what NOT to do! The fact that so many people run it just tells you that the offset is not a significant issue!

I just built a drive shaft for a friend running waggy axles (on a real waggy) with a Dana 300 T-case. Single Cardan U-joints, and he runs 70 mph on the highway with NO vibration!

Hey thanks for all the info guys. By the way only have missing links in the front because of the wrap in the back. My front t-case input just started bringing some vibes and it seems to move in and out a little, bad bearings? Just did the crawler set about 6 months ago. It all looked good then, any ideas?

I am running a waggy axle on the rear, and have this same CV, I can run all day long with out ANY vibrations......I can flex out well over the max limit of the standard u joint! That is why i went with a 40* CV.......
