I picked up a new toy a few months ago, and as the weather warms, it's time to get under and start sorting things out. Right now, she's stock rear springs sitting on 5" blocks with a zero rate AAL stuck in there. The drive shaft angle is HORRIBLE as it's actually pulling right out of the tailshaft worse than bowtiefreak's did. I figure the best way to go about this would be to go with an ORD shackle flip, 1" zero rate shims, and a 14 bolt SF. I'd also like to drop the T-case an inch or so, and correct the angle with shims. The rearend is already under one of my other trucks so that'll be fine. Both are 3.73 which will work for now. I don't recall if the 14 bolt yoke is any closer to the T-case, but that would help.
That being said, what are you guys with 2dr Tahoes, Yukons and Blazers running with a 6" lift? I have a big list of stuff to fix, so I'd rather stay away from double cardan drive shafts and the like. Quick and easy without trial and error are all I'm looking for. Something that works and won't break the bank. Did anyone find an axle that would be a few inches longer without having one made? What degree shims would I be looking for? I know someone out there has had this issue and found the path to success.
Bowtiefreak, if you read this, did you do a shackle flip on your rig?
