Actually I left the front driveshaft connected to the transfer case during the install and I actually test drove it with the front driveshaft all connected. After driving it and getting the vibration I decided it was better to remove the front driveshaft. It may have just been my u-joints in the rear. I will reinstall the driveshaft this weekend and post pics of the wicked angle. I still have to find a set of Bilstein rear shocks, I really liked the ones (Bilsein 5100's) that came with the kit but they were too darn long. They were nearly fully compressed when installed. I am going to call bilstein and see if they make a shock that is slightly longer then stock with a bar and pin upper mount setup. If anybody is running longer Bilsteins in the rear please let me know! Thanks
 






Was your front driveshaft at a worse angle than mine? see my thread page 8
 






I know it's not the best angle to look at it by but here so you don't have to go look:

The angle at the front differential does not seem too bad but the one going into the transfer case is horrible. Sorry I dont have time to post pics, I will definately get them up this weekend!
 






My front driveshaft does not have a boot on it so that it can extend.
 






lets see some pics of the whole truck.
 






LOL that pic is my truck...

I was just trying to show him what the angle was on my front diff.

He will get pics this weekend.

It's awesome! The only problem is that front driveshaft. I put a new u-joint in on saturday and bolted it back up, then I drove it on the highway (70 mph) and all of the sudden it started vibrating like crazy! So I slowed down to 62 and it stopped. I removed the driveshaft and now it doesnt vibrate. I am planning on going tomorrow to the custom driveshaft place and see what they can build me up. Thanks for all the compliments! Where abouts on 23 do you wheel? My girlfriend lives at m-5 and 96 so that's not too far from 23. Let me know.
