Could grind down rubbing parts or lower transfer-case but there has too be better design than this Double velocity. My angle does not seem bad at all. Front 60 is turned up too.

Do a search for high angle driveshafts. There was a company that made what you're looking for.

grind off the limiters, mines like that and so is my brother in laws,
his fit fine with the tires on the ground but as soon as ya got some
travel it would break the front joint until we did that.

theres also factory bolt spacers above the frame on the bolts
for the crossmember use them between the cross and the frame
should have about a 1 inch gap and youlle be fine with 6 inches of
suspension lift

I got it ground down and it clears by like 3" but will have too see at full droop. :( Also taking that new cross-member I built back out and dropping it 2"   Cut all my welding back out  loll  Measure once cut twice

Gearz

Were it sits with it just grinding double velocity



Were it sits dropping case 2" (not a big change)



Were it sits at full droop with case not dropped down ( did not change much )



So I'm going too leave the cross-member were its at. Not dropping it 2" did not make a big difference. Front shaft should be fine but going too put limit straps on suspension just too be safe and stop it from hitting that binding point. When my foot gets heavy and Suspension starts too bounce.  ==sm
Grinding that shaft made all the difference in the world.

I eliminated the cv and did some fab work on the flange  that bolts to the tcase and lengthened drive shaft....works great!

Crazymays77

yup i did that to mine too. i can take the flange that bolts to the tcase and it will go in a 90 degree now lol. works great. that cv sucks.
