I see you have something under it,... but how much?
Do you think your driveshaft tube diameter is too big?

The first shorter shaft,... is usually just and extension of the trans tailshaft.
(very close to the same angle)
Keith - I had the carrier bearing raised about 2.5" and it was still a no go. I talked to Nate and he said the motor was to high... As far as the diameter of the drive shaft, I've asked for pics and advice on doing this for about 3 months but have got very little info, so I went with what I knew. I didn't even think to ask the guy at the driveline shop about the diameter because I hadn't heard it was an issue..... You would think that as many of these extreme setups that are out there, that there would be a write up of the do's and don'ts of measuring and building the driveline for them.......
