I get asked from time to time about my front driveshaft and curiosity has got to me. My axles right now are 4.56 rear and 3.55 front, thinking about switching from rwd to fwd to test other ratio with 35s. I was going through lengths of shafts to see what would fit vs what I have to work with, this is what I come up with. So unsure on a shaft with double cardan and thinking might need one made. This leaves me wondering about the new supers drive shaft and wheather the t-case output flange can be used on my bw1345?
EDIT: let me make this more manageable to understand, first is the distance at rest for my truck and the rest are compressed distance for ones I am seeing
F350 clone with f-super lift
~35 1/2
F250
AOD 33-1/4
E4OD ~39-1/2
ZF5 ~39-1/2 ?
C6/T1X 35-1/2
F350
AOD X
E4OD 38-3/16
ZF5/C6/T1X ~32-1/2
This is a zf5 f250 driveshaft set in place and compressed most the way, it could do for a test drive but is showing another issue. This shaft is almost touching the crossmember, making wonder if the f350 got a different one than what I have.
