Just got finished putting some Trail Gear 5" lift springs on the rear..my old superlift lift springs were pretty shot. The back now sits a bit higher then the front..and I was looking at my rear driveline and Im wondering if I need to lengthen it or if I can get away with turning the axle a bit and welding some different spring perches on...just worried about slipping that drift shaft out ont he trail. The other thing I noticed after installing was a noise in the transmission mainly when shifting into 5th with a load sounds like input shaft bearing..this may just be a coincidence I dont know, also all my gadamn t-case bolt keep coming loose..think there all stripped..what a head ache thats goin to be...this happend to anyone else

 

I had to take a leaf out of the rear with my 5intg springs to get it level front and rear. i would have your dshaft lenghtened anyway for more travel

 

what are your compression and droop measurements?

How long is your shaft and slip?

There is your answer.

 

I'd get a longer shaft made anyways...

also, as said above you can take a leaf out, my buddy did that with his front Allpro 5 inchers, took leafs out to lower it. works fine

also for the tcase, why would they be stripped, who took it apart? you? for what reason? rebuild? gears? ...

throw some red lock tight on em ... take one out at a time, lock tight it, put it back.. so you dont break any seals.

truck looks good btw

 

Load up the bed and go 'wheeling - get the springs broken in first.
