So I'm looking at a 6.5 lift, know I need an sye, but due to my job can't have too much downtime on the vehicle (daily driver) anyone know a temp solution or someplace that would have a a ds made to that size lift?

It's not the size of the drive line that's the problem it's the angles.

You could always just drive without a rear shaft while the custom one is being sent to you, it's not ideal, but it would work

Got the dw on my 89 I have Ajustable ca's and have the axel as close to center as I can get it on my own is it possible that the pItman arm just needs to be swapped for a drop arm I'm gonna take it to a alignment shop also. I did notice one I got every thing centered it went 25 to 40 mph before dw starts???

Not if the sye is installed.... Lol
Plus if money isn't a big deal since your getting a custom one made just order a sye kit that comes with the driveline.
