the only way i would ever evin think about it would be to make a custom crossmember and motor mounts, that would move the whole asembaly up, but as a sead befor, dont wast ur time with that, lift it more or get bigger tires

If you clock this thing how far can u go before it cause problems with drive shaft angles?

figure I'll just slap on a 2 in. body lift. And lift the drive train to match. I figure that might be the better approach. Like the idea of everything being out of the way. Especially the exhaust.

Yes, it can be clocked and there are a few kits available. Drive lines will need to be modified as it adds like 3" or 4" inches to the total drivetrain.

I know OTT once made this but I can't seem to find it on there site.

Concerns are that the oil galleys that catch tossed oil is what 'pumps' the oil back into the rear housing under accelleration (via inersia) but with it clocked and oil runs out of the galleys and I think cooling becomes a concern.
