Alright back to building, those that follow my other posts know i installed my beadlocks. If you don't know this...
TADA.
Moving on.
I know my front axle needs to come up quite a bit (picture above shows horrible driveline angle). 25* exactly to get the pinion inline with the shaft. That was the DC at the transfercase is happy too. Unfortunately this is no easy task. I already rotated the inner C's back 10* to compensate for the current pinion angle which wasnt nearly enough. Another problem is the passenger side perch. On a dana-60 the perch is cast into the diff housing. Making it a huge pain to work with.
1st Pic is the angle i need to be at. I unbolted the U-bolt plates and jacked up the pinion until it was inline.
These pictures show the amount i need to turn the axle from where it currently is. That is with 8* shims too. My goal is to have the pinion and driveshaft inline and not have to run any shims.
In order to accomplish this I have to get a 25* chunk milled out of the cast-in perch, I have to rotate the inner C's another 15* back. Cut off the drivers side perch and weld a new one on.
The pass. side only has one U-bolt as well. It has 2 bolts that attach the inside of the spring plate to the axle. This also has to be milled and then the bolt holes have to be re drilled and tapped to match the new angle. That way the U-bolt plate can get sucked down the correct way. On top of everything else I have to completely tear down the axle for the machine shop. Now I need more jack-stands, because my other project is tying them up.
