AD, I'm not gonna use air ride.. I looked into some air over shock kits and they were a little much for me! I'm just gonna use coilovers front and rear!

Well im trying to set up the driveline.. im gonna have to notch that crossmember.. can someone tell me what angle my rearend is suppose to be? my trans? what angle should the driveline be? i have no ideal where to go from here.. thats just a mock up driveline by the way

Carb flange should be set level, this usually results in the trans being about 3* down.

If I set carb flange level I'm pretty sure I'd have to run a tunnel through the whole cab..

Hmmm, such a simple and obvious rule of thumb that I'd never thought of before. I knew the driveshaft angle was usually 3 degrees downward to the rear but ever knew where that came from. Live and learn!
