Ok im am reading a lot about the issues with the front drive shaft binding. I would like to get a hp44 or hp9( like jason is doingfrom BC?), but in time. What can i do in the inbetween?

Someone had mentioned cuting the welds on the knuckles and rotate the housing would reduce some of the angle? Is this a good option? What other options are there, and how easy can they be done? Thanks in advance for your assistance.


(Lift is not installed at this time)

I cut the C's that hold the knuckle and rotated them. I have the pinion pointed right at the t-case and 8 degrees of caster. Works great! I had horrible wandering and a bad angle at the driveline before the work. Now both are great and I am not worried about the long travel front suspension. It is kind of a pain to do but well worth it!

Superjoint from Tom Woods drivelines. Perfect for the front and no driveshafts to buy. Just change the one U-joint and go.
