I have run into a bit of a snag. I had my driveshaft made using the TG long spline kit and my stock front CV section. It does not even have enough clearance to bolt up at ride height. I know that this setup has been used by others on here with more lift than I have (TG 3" SAS). It is not being limited by the sides of the CV, but rather the lip/rin on the inner "ball" section that it pivots on. Can I clearance this somehow or is there a better fix? I really do not want to fork out the cash for a Tom Woods or High Angle just yet.

I've the IFS CV + TG yoke with 4'' springs. I haven't noticed any clearance problem But I've a HP diff. Also it will be better angle now I'm swapping to an auto.

Not enough degrees of freedom in the IFS CV, if I recall correctly, half that of SFA.

 

I can't even bolt it up at ride height. I'm cutting and rotating the axle on Monday. This is really the only way that it'll truly be correct. I may not even have to clearance the stock CV.

 

Just for clarification, is this front or rear?

 

Front. The rear is beautiful.

 

You either need to clearance your IFS CV or use a CV from a sold axle shaft. That's it. Don't go turning your knuckles. Mine didn't line up either, I used a SFA CV and it bolted right up.

Here's mine with SFA CV. I'm runninuals now so my angle is much better than this pic.
