That is possible, it’s close. That was actually on my list today, to cut a little more out. And it’s got a 2” body lift. I’ll update if that does it.

Here’s a quick video. The beginning shows what I’m talking about. The starting point of the video both front and rear are in Hi

J shift for me

To add … when both shifters are in HI and I attempt to move front into N, the rear shifter moves with it.

Rebuilt Dana 20 and added a twin stick. It shifts into all the positions but I need to put it in 4 HI in order to get it fully seated in 2 HI. If I try and go from 4 HI to N on the front, it pulls the rear out of 2 HI. If I start with Front wheels in Neutral, sometimes I can get the rear to...

Thanks for the info James! My pinion is around 12 when I measure it like your first picture. It’s the driveshaft angle that is 23. I’ve got a couple other things I’m working on getting fixed before I dial in this pinion issue. But currently, it’s running and no issues that I can tell. I might...

Yeah, it had been sitting for a couple months and I have done a bunch of work (nothing engine related). Brown paste is accurate around the bottom of the reservoir but nothing near the cap. I haven’t noticed any “milkshake“ anywhere. No overheating issues. 7 of the cylinders were 135-140psi...

I’m hoping, but not holding my breath here, that the fix is at least something I can handle in my garage… but here’s the issue- I noticed some brown gunk in my coolant overflow and decided to see if it was related to a possible blown head gasket. I tried a head gasket leak test with testing...

I didn’t, and actually ended up just buying the pre-built WH heavy duty output assembly because I had some other issues with my output shaft.

I’ll add that around 2k RPM, I can turn the wheel lock to lock. At idle, I can’t move it.

Progress.... tore the pump apart and found a chewed up o-ring. I think it was from the previous (wrong) fitting. I also think the valve was stuck open, not building pressure. I reinstalled the pump after cleaning it out and now it squeals lol. I call that progress. Attempted a quick bleed...

Installed the new fitting.. still now power steering. I did notice the brakes come to life though! They were not working previously. It also felt like the steering wheel “loosened” up when I gave it gas, but I can’t tell if that was just cause the truck was moving faster. From a dead stop, I...

Thanks Paul!! Yes, I’ve been driving on that suspension for a couple years (although not a ton of miles), so ride height is not new. I will definitely be adjusting the pinion as recommended. I like both options, but I don’t have a welder and don’t know how to weld… so the steel shims sound...

Thanks Paul. For measurements, I used my iPhone which has a level app (been extremely accurate when verifying against known info). While on level ground, I placed my phone against the driveshaft similar to a couple tech articles on here. 23 degrees. For the pinion, I placed the phone against...

This video breaks down terminology pretty good. If I understand correctly, with the double carden on one side, I need to get my pinion angle within 2-3 degrees of my driveshaft. Since my rough measurements were around 23 for the shaft and 12 for the pinion, I’d need to rotate at least 8...

It’s about 10 5/8 between axle tube and frame. Tires are good. As far as truck weight, only thing missing is rear bench seat and roll cage. I don’t run a top, front winch, or anything else. Once I have a better understanding of all this, I’ll dive into the axle perch idea.

Ok, up next is driveshaft replacement. My setup previous was WH 3.5 lift with no shims. I’m not sure if the driveshaft was stock or not. With this setup, I had no issues (that I could feel/tell), but was always concerned with driveshaft angle. Now, I have added extreme duty output shaft and my...

Local pickup only on that one, sorry.

$125. It’s got the brackets. I’ll have to dig up the bolts, but I’m sure they’re around somewhere.
