I just went from a 4 1/2" lift (sagging badly) in the rear to a (bds)5 " I am running a extended shackle already (5" attained 6" rear lift). Any how I moved about 20 ft to test and the drive line fell out. I am also running a fabricated 1" t case drop which is welded in (the origional bolts pulled thru).
so now am looking at alternitives for the rear and wondering about the front (turdyand 8.8 rear).
The cheapest is a rustys yolk extender (60.00 plus shipping)...I am thinking this would be a short term, it would also get it on the road fastest, it is a extra vehicle but used as some what of a DD in-town.
Hack and tap (185.00?) and front drive shaft which I have a extra...
Or getting a custom like tom woods for around 500.00 complete.
So my question are?
Is the front DS still long enough (this isnt as addressed)?
Is the H and T with a stock front DS long enough and strong enough? Is this a good long term fix.
Or just go to the tom woods with a SYE.
Local help would be appreciated!
