Re: Drive shaft support bearing breaking.

Sorry for being MIA. Got a chance to try and check pinion angle the best I could. The yolk on the rear end appears to be pitched up 10.8 degrees, the driveshaft is up towards the trans at 3.5 degrees and the tailshaft appears to be down about 3.5 degrees. The frame measured down towards the front at 1.4 degrees so I assume all of those previous numbers should be adjusted accordingly. I also noticed that the rear end is to the passenger side about .5" and the drive shaft has a noticeable angle to the left heading forward.

On a side note of trying to figure out this mess, I've been looking at lowering options for leafs. A lot have suggested the DJM flip with no notch needed. I currently have 5.25" between the top of the axle tube and the bottom of the frame. If I flipped my axle the frame would be resting on the tube.

This thing gets more frustrating every time I look at it.
