Driveshaft clearance
Hey you guys that bagged...How close is your driveshaft to the bottom of the back of your cab? Just mocking mine up for the 4 link install and damn it looks close...almost touching. Pinion is at 4 degrees ...would prefer it at 2-3, running boards are at 5 1/2" off ground! The e-brake shaft can go but it is still very close

Re: Driveshaft clearance
I just made and installed a driveshaft loop in mine due to the same issue. I will try and get photos posted this weekend.

Re: Driveshaft clearance
If your suspension is bottomed clear out and you have some clearance left you should be good. If not you have to make some clearance but I don't see you needing a lot. If it can't touch it should never touch under normal conditions and that should be good enough.

Re: Driveshaft clearance
As long as you are not touching aired out you should be fine.
