So is a 5" center to center jack shaft even pheasable or how much do I need to move the transfer case back?

The truck is lifted 4" so I'm trying to avoid messing with the rear driveshaft angles too much although I realize it would help the front shaft angles some.




go here.... http://www.4xshaft.com/ have a short shaft made with the joint/joints needed, and yokes/flanges, and rotate the front diff upwards using some axle perch shims to correct the front shaft angle, a few degrees should do it, as a 4" lift ain't much...

The front shaft is OK where it is but I wouldn't mind adding some more positive caster to it. I have about +2 degrees now so I don't want to lose any of that.

Thanks for the link.
