I took it off to make sure I had enough spline engagement as the suspension cycled. I'll put it back on after I get it balanced etc

Appears to be a little short to me not trying to be a stick in the mud. Also rear axle need to be shimed up so its pointing more at Transfercase .

Yep I am well aware of these issues. I only just now got the DS in so it will take a few days for me to get to those probs.

I'm aware the shaft is short -- shifting will help a little, and I am going to get a longer yoke as well. (Yes, I know that works backwards from my SYE kit but it is an affordable option for now until I have the cash to either a custom shaft or modifications)

Shimming up axle will push ds in further that shaft will work for now just no off roading the hard stuff...
