Nice documentation and pictures. I paid close attention as I have a unit that I have not installed yet but plan to before winter is out. One thing you did not discuss and I am concerned about is the angle the universal joints end up at when the driveshaft is shortened.Did you do any before measuring of the angles so you would have reference material for when you get the drive shaft in.
Happy New Year

Hey Ross..
I didn't have an inclinometer at the time of my OEM driveshaft removal, so I did some grude measurements. I measured the distance from the garage floor to the front lowest point of the driveshaft by the yoke-to-tube joint (point A) and did the same for the rear lowest point (point B). At the points on the garage floor, I measured the distance from point A and point B. After that, it's simple geometry. But, the driveshaft shop stated that the max angle relative to the floor of the driveshaft to be between 3-11 degrees. I've get more accurate measurements after I get the driveshaft fixed and installed.
