almost done with my SAS ended up having to rebuild the entire exhaust because my full length headers hit the rear leaf spring hanger. so once the exhaust is done it will be driveable but still need front drive shaft. are there any simple solutions to this? i used a 1979 ford dana 44 which i believe is a 1310 and i believe my transfercase is a 1350 u joint. kind of wondering if it could be as easy as swapping the output yoke on transfercase to a k5 flange style and use k5 cv style driveshaft too? my factory driveshaft would actually work but it binds once it spins to the one side. the ears on the shaft hit the flange at a certain angle. or do i just call a driveshaft place say i need 1310 on this end and 1350 on the other end and this length? im low lift should be around 5.5", supposedly brackets add 3" and i did k5 2.5" lift springs. also has anyone tried dropping the transmission crossmember an inch or so? seems to be pretty popular in the jeep world to help reduce angles with short driveshafts. thanks
