Front drive shaft help
« on: Nov 02, 2005, 06:32:21 PM »
 I have just finish installing my solid axle with Marlin 4" springs.    I don't know what to do or what drive shaft should I build for my truck.  Any help will be greatly apprecated.

If you have the money ($400-600) go with Jesse at High Angle Driveline
http://www.highangledriveline.com/

If not, build a square driveshaft.

Can something be done to my existing drive shaft to achieve the proper drive shaft angle?

Ya, install a dual case. Does wonders for drive shaft angle. The only other way to improve the angle is to rotate your pinion up, then cut and turn you knuckles.
Otherwise, what MiniSimp said is right on......High Angle (bunch-o-money) or square (bout 30 bucks)

If you have the angles right, your local driveshaft shop can rework your stock shaft. My local shop builds awesome shafts. I took them my stock CV shaft and they re tubed it and added 18 inches of slip shaft all for About $225
