I highly doubt that 1" is going to kick up huge rocks and still manage to get by my massive mudflaps. How bout you don't pregnant dog about me bitching that in return results in more bitching. I am getting the ticket signed off so don't be such a hypocrite and if it really pisses you off that much go punch a midget or something.

Do you guys think my pinion angle is ok, we did it when we SAS'd it, and i did not have duals at the time, springs have settle and i now have duals   Let me know what you think, Thanks

[TheCookieMonster]

looks fine to me... mine is way worse than that

[Joey88RUNR]

Ok cool man, hopefully it doesnt change much, because im gonna soon be adding 6" sackles to the rear to fix my sag

[pumkin toy]

i just skimmed through your build. truck looks really good!  do you have the CV style driveline in the back now?  because if you do the angle looks great!  if you just have regular u-joints on each end then your pinion flange needs to be parallel with the output flange on the t-case to have the proper setup.

[88Rokyoat]

X2 pinion angle is fine. mine is horrible!

Depends if you have a CV joint or not

[Joey88RUNR]

Cv it is! it hurt to walk for about a week after that payment!

lol  good deal!  yeah i just got a used IFS cv driveline in the mail today and i am taking it to the driveline shop tomorrow!

Just my    .. I have heard that your better off with a 1 pc shaft than goin with a 2pc/cv shaft. u have to 2 more things to worry about breaking on your d-shaft besides u-joints now. The carrier (which should only need to be greased and inspected periodically and a 3rd u-joint. Anyway..just putting it out there.

[sandboxtoy]

just depends on the angle of the dangle, whether you need a cv or not.

My rear drive line is one piece, cv welded on at the tcase side

[8Snaces]

I think that should be good then. I just dropped off a d-shaft to a buddy and he told me to bring a 1st gen shaft that was 1 piece becuz he was replacing the stock shaft that had a carrier. I guess to each their own. Im very happy with my 1 pc.

[pumkin toy]

i am extremely happy with my new cv shaft! before i put it on i had lots of vibrations and my drivetrain made horrible backlash noises on coast. now it is all completely gone

[Joey88RUNR]

yup they do a good job

[Joey88RUNR]

If anyone cares, I bought a 4.88 3rd with a  detroit for 200 bucks....with a broken pinion gear!
and I just got back from 4wheel parts with 5.29s with setup kit front and rear!
The detriot will go in my rear to get rid of being welded!    the gears I bought are genuine gear, we will see they have lifetime warranty!

[THK Matt]

what'd the gears and setup cost you?

[John101477]

ok watchin the progress of this build is givin me the itch to sas mine. my wife is gonna kill me

[Joey88RUNR]

what'd the gears and setup cost you?

I got the hook up through a friend, and they are hurtin for sales right now....paid 435, for everything r&p and setup kits

[Joey88RUNR]

Got the rear 3rd setup! cant wait to get it in, yes that is a badass marlin triple drilled flange!
I picked up some used 35s, ill use them for trail use only for now untill i can afford to buy new 37s

[46&2]

Nice!

When you get some 37s, if those MTRs arent too worn let me know I will buy those up from you 

[Joey88RUNR]

  I put in the 5.29 3rd in the rear today! Gonna take some getting used too! I think Freeway driving Is no option with 33's what a difference

[Joey88RUNR]

Almost finished building the front

[88_Pathy]

ha yeah you have some new found pep in that 22re. On the freeway those squirrels are screaming. Get those 35s on it and it will be ok.

[Joey88RUNR]

Joey-

We have the bumper finished. If you are able to swing by here then that would be sweet, otherwise I can bring it up with me tomorrow for Moonlight Madness. Let us know! Thanks-

We have been working on improving our ability to make body lift bumpers and such (as we are asked this a lot) and are trying out some new strategies now. This isn't to say that we can or even will make special bumpers, it just means that if we have to make one then we are better equipped to do so now than in the past. But if a ton of people start asking for them then we will stop making them
