If you are going to address the trans issue before this you will first need to raise the engine slightly, tilt the trans tail shaft up ( try to stay at 2-3 degrees downward) and build a spacer for the tail mount or raise your crossmember and add spacers to the frame end or fab a new one. Then measure your diff yoke and see where you are. You want to be between 2 and 3 degrees (difference or less) than the tail shaft ,as the diff points up for ujoint cancellation. Then order the correct shims if needed. You can always cut the tube stands and loosely assemble the ubolts, rock the pinion to set the angle then weld the stands back on. More time than money theory

Hehe,,.. Ok thank you for your time once again NF,
I didnt know about raising the transmission yet. You are right I will adress the trans problem first so I dont catch it on the rail road tracks. Plus it stopping my truck from dropping....and that dont sit right,
by raise the engine slightly, Did you mean shim up the trans mount>? Or motor and trans both>:?
If I do this will I have to change the clutch pivot point?
The terms Ujoint cancelation and measure the diff yoke, to find degrees are new to me, I will start researching how to do this now and research the trans mods as well.
Have a good weekend guys.
