Its hard putting my front shaft in. I'm at a little over 6.5. If you install the end to the transfer case first and then the axle side, it's easier. Best solution is to go high pinion. That's what I'm doing

Your front driveshaft shouldn't have a slip yoke.

Sure does. That's the part in the middle that slides back and forth to change length.

That just didn't sound like the correct name for the part. Now that I think about it the part that bolts to the yoke on the axle is also a yoke which the driveshaft slips into. But the driveshaft doesn't slip into the yoke it just slips into the tube part of the yoke. But then the yoke and tube are one piece so it would all be called a yoke. Thanks for the information.
