Soa Conversion

[mesa 33]

Ive already started on my soa and just a dumb question but the driveshaft is supposed to be staright with the tranny right? Becuz before i started it it was off a little and my second question is from the axle to the drive shaft its supposed to kinda like this right? ___/ but not at that kinda angle. I already searched and people were disagreeing about this but i just wanna staright answer but the angle. Also your supposed to weld the new perchs directly above the bottom ones right? becuz when there directly above them they make my driveshaft angle.

I dont know the # of degrees but if Im not mistakin, the driveshaft is suppose to be at an angle. If I remember right, if there isnt any angle the UV will wear quicker. Im sure someone else can shed more light on it.

Dont know about the perches. All I do know is that when I looked into it, I think it was Superlift that had bolt on perches.

The angle needs to be the same as it was before. If you have an angle finder put it on the transfercase output and you want within a degree or so of that on the pinion.
