What's the MINIMUM distance of slip yoke clearance (pulling rear ujoint out of rear yoke) that is acceptable? I went to cal-tracs and I don't have a lot of clearance and can't find this info listed in any of my manuals. Thanks Dave

Put two to three hundred lbs. in the trunk and see how much clearance you have then, if it is 1/2 inch or more I would run it on a drag car Not on a street and strip car though 3/4 inch or more for the street

Same thing on the rear suspension with ladder bars Make sure , if it has adjustable rear srping mounts, that it is as low as it can be adjusted to before adding the weight

I had an issue where at 85 to about 100 mph i had a vibration in my car. I changed driveshafts checked pinion angle changed trany mounts same thing. Changed pinion yoke from cast yoke to strange yoke and problem solved. Strange yoke is 1/2 longer than cast yoke. I drive it on street sometimes. I was told by another member 3/4 of an inch was good.
