It's only about 2 1/2 inches of engagement.

You look very close to coming out on that slip yoke, I think with a 6" lift you are going to have to go to a SYE kit and a CV driveshaft. I would thing that the truck is going to vibrate quite a bit with that much of an angle.

To properly keep your current set up in proper alignment and ujoints working together, you need your t-case and your pinion yoke to be parallel with one another. Pick up a cheap angle finder to see where you're at. Harbor freight was a cheap one I got....probably $10 or $15.

No. I had the driveshaft from the Suburban the axles came out of and planned on having that shortened. But, when you use a 14-bolt semi-floater like I did, the K/5 driveshaft works out perfect. I just used a conversion u-joint. My intentions were to do that temporarily till I had the Suburban shaft done and swapped-in the 4L80E. But, after running it a while I decided it was fine as it was and I'd rather use the heavier stuff on something else. Drove it 5 years that way before I sold it
