Cut my drive line a little short -
 
I measured my front drive line about a thousand times and thought I had it right, but ended up cutting it about 3/4" too short - I'm gonna make new l-brackets, the ones that attach the carrier bearing to the frame, and make them a little longer. Where it slides into the rear drive line is fine, it's just that the carrier bearing has to be pretty close, or you need to oval out the hole on the brackets they attach to. Created work for myself, but I didn't realize that on the old carrier bearing, the rubber had slipped out and was moving forward. I measured from the rubber and not from about 1/4" inside the carrier bearing bracket. A lesson learned. :whine:

:dohh: No matter how many times I measure, I always do that. Hope it works out for you.
