That just seems wrong to me. I've looked at the HnT SYE from IRO and am thinking that that would probably be my best bet with the rear driveline? I wanna measure per their instructions to see if their HnT will work, but I don't know how to remove the driveshaft to begin with.. Without being able to measure, I'm thinking it would fit if the transfer case drop stays in? But wanna make sure before ordering, ya know?

If it was me, I would take out the tcase drop (regain your ground clearance) and then measure. At 10" you may need degree shims in addition to the sye

first off, sorry if this has been discussed in the last 7000 posts, but I hope you will understand my unwillingness to search them.
So I installed a three inch lift kit from Rusty's, and the front is about in inch lower than that of the rear. I installed adjustable lower control arms, and set them at about sixteen inches (what I found to be recommended in another post on this site) I was wondering if I need to play with their adjustment, or do I just nee to install a spacer up front?

Ok so I put 31" tires on and I love them. But I did notice a change in power ( I have d35) and I want to do a gear swap now. What's a good ratio to move up to?

I can't remember the exact size but I'm pretty sure it's metric. They're not designed to be very tight so don't be surprised if they some off easy. It's just 4 bolts and 2 straps on either end that holds both driveshafts on.

And you can use a sturdy screwdriver to hold the shaft still.
