You need to shorten the driveshaft as well as a heavy-duty carrier bearing and the slip. When you raise it up the driveshart pushes forward causind problems if it's not shortened.
whats up man how you been? Hey whats up Matt?
Call Brent at real customs 812-542-0377 he has a solid steel center support thats virtually unbreakable.
You still need that frame Matt?[/b][/quote]
Yeah, I have one of those bearings from Brent and they are nice.
Driveshaft problems suck. I have a slip yoke back half, and it's still not enough. I am going to cut 1/4 to 1/2 inch off the other end of the shaft so that I can get a little bit more of the shaft towards the front of the car and mount the bearing closer to the front of the car.
Also, since the bearings are solid, naturally, more vibration is going to get transferred to the frame. I had problems with the solid bearing vibrating loose as well, to the point of always keeping a socket with me to check it before I roll. :angry:
Until I started using the red lock tite.
Another thing you can do is tap out the bolt holes a little bigger and switch to a fine threaded grade 8 bolt to help keep the bolt from vibrating out.
