Nice progress on the truck. I'm sure your glad to have it rolling again.

Thanks for the words guys!
On the driveshaft, solidaxel is right about where I'm at. I pulled it out an inch and maybe an 1/8th ... there's a little rubber dust boot on there which makes it look a lot smaller, but that collapses about 7/8" or so.
That said, there isn't a whole lot of change in the geometry as the rear end goes up - I thought about that, but now you're making me doubt myself
