Anything I should look out for? Pinion angle set at +- 2 degrees of carrier bearing or trans output? Getting things ready for a long weekend of welding , cutting and grinding.
Thanks

Thanks

Do you have an inclinometer Jon? Keep the u joint working angles between 1/2 and 3 degrees for optimum performance and no vibration.

I am open on Sunday if you need a hand working on it. Let me know

Take care,
Tom

Thanks Tom. I will get ahold of you.
I kinda suspected keeping the working angles at 3 betwen trans....carrier...diff. Im oy concearned at ride height to full drop and ability to drive in and out of the parking lots.

Anyone ever use a CV or Carrdan style joint set up at the front of the driveline on a dropped truck?
