That's how I did* it. I don't have my crossmember anymore since I'm planning on making a new one but that's the best way to do it imo

 

[Cheeny23]

lol, did*

 

[GingerCrew]

Nice, the how too I've been searching for...

 

[Zach.]

I know right? In all seriousness that's the best way to do it. Just measure how far the transmission is from frame rail to frame rail and then do the driveshaft the same way. So say for example if the transmission is 3" closer to the passenger side then make the driveshaft 3" closer to the passenger side. It's really not that hard. The hardest part about the whole thing is doing the pinion angle.

from what i read about pinion angle, your ujoints are in their prime working order at 1 to 1.5*. so say your trans is pointing down 3*. to put the ujoint connecting the 1st shaft and trans together your gonna want to go up or down 1-1.5 degrees. so you coulg go up hill to 2-1.5, or down hill to 4-4.5. either way the u joint is in that 1-1.5* range. then that shaft becomes like your trans, and set you pinion angle equal and opposite to that shaft.

 

[Zach.]

That's what I was told to. I'm just terrible at explaining shit lol. Everyone I've talked to seems to have a different way of setting the pinion angle. Some say positive 1-3* and some say negative 1-3*.

 

[bagged00]

ive read and actually heard from someone that id assume is into drag racing, that most people big into racing will tell you to set your pinion angle down so when you acceleterate it rolls ups. ive also read that you can set it just equal to the front drive shaft,but not opposite. really i didnt even measure my shit and never adjusted my pinion angle lol

 

[Zach.]

Yep. That's the most common thing I've heard. 1-3* down cause the axle goes up.

I get no vibration, and scraping in my 4/6 cc...

Me either, not that I notched my x members, way easier IMO than Effin with a 2 piece, maybe when I boost ill look into it, but no issues right now

 

[Colyn.]

I don't touch driveshaft anymore cause pumpkin hits bed floor before that can happen but dnw my notched crossmembers anymore.... I plan on reinforcing them when I do my 2piece swap...
