Re: NP241c

I run an NP208c in mine, which is similar in size. My complete drivetrain is LQ4 / 4L65e / Novak adapter / NP208c.

The adapter between trans and t-case for me goes from 6 bolt hex to 4 bolt early style output (basically makes the new 4L65e "look" like a 700R4/early 4L60e in length and bolt pattern, but includes a VSS that I needed).

I have a 4" lift and found that a stock 80s rear driveshaft fit pretty good in the rear... BUT at drop, the angle was enough to start binding the U-joints. In the end, I had a new CV joint shaft built and cut/welded the perches to rotate the rear pinion in line with the shaft. 1000 miles later, all good.

If I was stock height or a 2" lift, I think the 80s blazer shaft would have been OK.

Disclaimer: I found that my rear axle originally doesn't go to my truck (a 71 Jimmy).. the perches were poorly welded on, the gears weren't set up right or shimmed and the pinion nut wasn't torqued/locktited. The brakes are HD 11-5/32" x 2.75" so I'm thinking this came from a truck?
