Re: driveshaft legnth?
What did you do to your truck?
Moving the transmission effects the front shaft. Moving the suspension effects the rear shaft. Coil trucks don't have as big of a problem as leaf trucks when it comes to the driveshaft changing length with suspension droop and compression. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: driveshaft legnth?

Re: driveshaft legnth?
5" drop coils on.the back with the adjustable trac bar. PO lowered the front by heating the fronts ( to much) c downs. You just trimmed the yoke? Wouldnt the shaft need trimming?

Ill assume your shaft was correct before lowering, the rear shaft needs to be shortened. Posted via Mobile Device
