Topic: Driveshaft contacting Cross Member under flex - ideas?

[Redcheetah]

I went to Truckhaven this weekend for a buddy's bachelor party and began to hear a metal on metal grinding noise during one of the runs through the notches.  After crawling under the rig I realized that the DS is contacting the Cross Member when the front end is flexed.  I am looking for guidance on how to solve this issue?  A couple people suggested that I just clearance the crossmember but after looking at the contact points it appears as if it would take a substantial amount of clearance to give the DS full clearance.  Ideas?  Thanks

edit: I have pics but don't have enough posts to post an attachment.

That's strange.  I assume we're talking about the stock t-case x-member?  Is this when the passenger side is at full droop or compression?  You can host pics at photobucket.com and then use the [IMG] code to post them here.  Those pics would really help in this situation.

I had the same problem single t-case and mixed front springs longer shackles pinion was to low caster was off installed spring shims everything was ok after that

Thanks for the info so far guys.  As far as I know this is the stock t-case cross member.  I will try to joing photobucket to get the pics up.  The pics clearly show what type/where the contact is taking place

your best bet would probably be getting an aftermarket cross member.  I got one offline from sky manufacturing and it worked great.
