Getting close to done. . .
In the final stages of initial assembly and I finally got the 2 piece drive line in and it is in dire need to drop about 3 inches at the center carrier bearing I suspect. I say three inches due to the 3 inch OEM spacers I installed on the rear axle, not to mention the 4x4 Dana 60 axle conversion the front end underwent which raised the entire vehicle.
I have been looking for a suitable spacer and nothing seems to be out there. A trip to Ace Hardware this morning found a 3 inch long round spacer that goes around the bolt. Two of those would get me up the 3 inches and they are roughly a 1 inch outer diameter.
Advisability of this? Or weld them together on either side solidifying the center? Or something else, such as what?
