Does anyone think my angle is too steep?





This is that other question I had on my Driving in 4WD thread.

Is it possible to rotate a front end? It looks like it needs to a little bit. Cause see look at where the U-joint is to the pumpkin. It looks like I need to turn the front diff upwards a little bit. Check out these pictures. I hope someone can understand what I'm trying to say.

 

The angle on the drive shaft is a bit much, to correct the problem you need to rotate the axle housing to be more inline with the shaft. In doing this the caster will be off and need to be corrected, otherwise you'll have death wobble..... To rotate the knuckles requires quite a bit of work, cutting the ends and turning them. Another alternative is to replace the axle housing with one of Front Ranges Diamond housings.

You can always just run it the way it is, I've seen many do it, usually they pull the shaft out of the splines during full droop.

 

LOL

Does Front Range have a website? How costly would this be? I definately need to correct it soon.

 

another option would be to get a high pinion, or a dual t-case, either would help the problem, but wouldn't be nice on the wallet

 

Another option is to drop your lift some. Lower springs, a BFH (noobs, BFH = Big ˟˟˟˟˟˟ Hammer) and some fender trimming will probably do wonders. Just a thought.
