Also if it's a typical chevy yoke it uses a different type joint with retaining clips and straps/u-bolts.

yeah its a standard chevy yoke. i ended up giving a buddy $20 for a whole driveshaft out of a 86 silverado. so i think im just goin to cut up the two shafts and make one. now ive just got to come up with some 37s for a 15 inch wheel. already got my stuff to put together full hydro steering and she's locked up with 5:13 gears. but the 33s look ridiculous on full widths lol

I found their number, but it seems to be disconnected.. Can anyone recommend a good shop around here? I just completed my longarm lift and I'd like to have a competent shop give it a quick look over.. And I know it Def needs alignment. And I have some gears I need to get installed.

Id suggest either Toms or Ringgold for gears.
Do you just need the long arms installed? Or what?

Alignments can be done at home for free in about 20 minutes.

The longarms are installed.. But I've never really messed with this kind of stuff before.. I am certain they are not adjusted right. And I do not feel confident in my abilities to get them adjusted correctly.. Unfortunately.

Yes they are adjustable. It's the Serious off road arms. Also I'm rubbing really bad, but the kit was advertised to clear 33s.. And that's what I'm running. Will proper alignment solve this problem?

Hudlow does a great job with gears and they can help with the lift if need be. What is rubbing and where?

Never heard of hudlow. I'll check em out, thanks. And the right tire is rubbing on the front of the fender.. Pretty badly tho.

I feel like the axle is about as centered as it can be... Idk. I measured halfway thru the fender and hung a weighted string down from the center and the axle seemed to fall dead center on both sides.
