[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 441712, member: 18789"] No angle finder on it yet. I now have the front jacked up which screws with the loading in the rear so I can’t do anything with it right now until I’m back on the ground up front. I think what it will come down to is my newer suspension being just slightly higher. Driveshaft is stock length, from eBay. 87-93 had 1310 axle joints and 94-95 had 1330. 6 cyl manual had the shortest driveshaft. The later driveshaft was about 3/4” shorter because of the 1330. Mine is a 94 but I’m running a 1310 yoke on the D35, so I picked up an 87-93 6 cyl manual shaft. Since it’s the shortest configuration possible, I know the shaft can’t possibly be any longer than what I’ve got. I noticed how much it pulled out of the tcase as well and my guess is that it’s probably also due to the slightly higher ride of the aftermarket springs. My guess is that the 35 year old stock stuff sits flat while the aftermarket is just a teensy bit above flat for a while. The part that’s throwing me off is that people with actual 2.5” lift and stock driveshaft don’t appear to be that far from my angle. But I know I’m sitting much lower than 2.5” lift. It really is sitting like a stock jeep. I have wondered if my skid plate from Crown sits differently than stock, but I don’t think so. Shifter seems to be at the right spot/height. Tcase angle is seemingly right. [/QUOTE]
