I'm also running 6" alcan springs - whats your lift?
I was searching on another off road forum and saw that a guy used a long yoke set up making the drive shaft small through that area... running it without a CV... not sure this is a good option for me. Another fella ditched the aluminium pan for a chrome pan and then beat it in with a soft mallet... not sure that is in the cards for me either... I plan on heading down to the driveline guys tomorrow to pick some brains. My lift is a bit of a mash up... 4" soft ride up front, and then Sky Jacker's version of the 4" soft ride in the rear. I added in the ORD 1" add-a-leafs at all corners to get me at 5" overall.

I will let you know what they say.
