basically here is what happend in many hours in a few seconds with my front DL

got it finished a few hours ago and put it aside. im swaping out the rear springs right now, as well as putting the new DL on. it is square cutsom stuff, awsome work. but the CV joint is off my stock 86 IFS. it does not have a steep enough angle on it for my new SAS axle. what im asking is what years SA can i pull the CV from to make my DL work. i would like to get this done ASAP. my fingers are still caked in grease from working. i still have more spring to go and i will be back after that is done. so anybody with this vauluable information will be my new hero. thanks a ton

You can go through life being scared of the possible, or you can have a little fun and tease the inevitable.

Yep, run regular U-joints on a square shaft for the front.  In the rear I like to use the front CV with the rear pinion pointed up at 2° - 3° below shaft angle.
