: Drive Line Angle's

I just installed the RE 4.5" on my CJ7. I am having some issues with my driveline angles. I installed the shims on the rear axle and the transfercase drop as well. Both helped a bit, but it is still not right. The angle at the u-joint at the axle looks pretty good but the angle at the t-case still looks pretty bad. What can I do to fix this?

I'm running the same lift on my cj-7 without the t-case drop and haven't had any issues yet.

How do your DL angles look?

Those angles don't look bad to me. Are you having a problem? Or are you just worried you might have a problem? I've seen worse angles work okay. Run it.

You're angles are wrong.

Your t-case output and pinion need to be parallel since you don't have a CV shaft.

This is what you have:

This is how a CV shaft would be set up which is what your pinion angle looks like it was set for:

I think it looks good, rear pinion should point up the same as transfer case points down. Easier to tell looking at both at the same time.
