ill take a pic tomorrow, shoulda searched first i found an arcticle on grinding some outta my double cv allowing my driveline to droop to 35 degrees, ima give that a shot

Go duals! Longer driveshaft = less angle

[junya92toy]

I never had to grind a thing when I did my sas, weird.

[THK Matt]

just go to a 84-85 style front DL.

[95runnerNW [OP]]

junya is yours a double cardan?

[95runnerNW [OP]]

thx for the input dudes, wish i could afford duals soon hopefully

[pumkin toy]

dual cases will help your situation alot!  Other things that help remedy the situation are lowering the suspension and moving the front axle forward more.  idk if either of those things are an option for you, but a combination of both can help alot.

Looks like your best bets are tear it apart and start fileing or cut off the CV and replace it with an 84-85 CV.

Take a gander at my link and see if it helps. http://board.marlincrawler.com/index.php?topic=65878.msg854840#msg854840

 as mentioned above you need to clearance your cv, go to a earlier cv, or get rid of the cv all together.. the ifs cv's have much less angle ability to them..  Search google, there are a couple right ups how to clearance them

[junya92toy]

Its a stock ifs cv.

[OOPS]

You do not need a solid axle DC, do this mod to your IFS CV and it will have more angle then the SA CV.

Ran like that for many years until I wore the d-shaft out and went to one that I bought from Dave'z Off-road. It has single IFS front u-joints, the bottom one is machined to accept a massive slip joint that is over 14" long. The front IFS single joints have the most angle of any Toyota single joint. Why I do not know, but they do.

I never ran shims when I was single case, I only ran shackles that were 4.5-bolt hole to bolt hole. When I first did the SAS I had 6" bolt hole to bolt hole shackles and I had a slight bind on full droop on the PS side. When I change the shackles, it moved the pinion up about nine degrees and that was more then enough to stop the binding.

thanx dude! that link was good we tore it apart and clearanced it last night, not sure of the exact angles but it droops down like 6" further than it did before its dialed. now i can take er wheelin! my rear gears are almost fully broke in just gotta change my gear oil, my fronts still have 0 miles on em tho i think im gonna tool around in the flats at the dunes to break em in

swap diffs... and run the 0 miles around in 2wd in the rear... once its broken in.. your good to go.
