A good place to get my drive line shortened

Blue_tener · 11-01-2007, 12:49 AM

Im going to drop my truck in a week and i find out that standard cabs have a problum with their drive shaft. I have an 94 s10 4.3 tbi and im gona put a 3/4 on my truck. has anyone done this and did they have to shorten their shaft. If i do what is a good place to do this, in tacoma or that area.

Ps I will provide beer and a ride home to someone to help with my drop

or could I use an angled block hmmmm http://www.jagsthatrun.com/Pages/Par...aft-Align.html

greencactus3 · 11-01-2007, 01:02 AM

angled blocks are not a fix for needing to shorten the driveshaft, but for minor cases, a setback plate also sold from jtr will.
make sure you know if you need a flat block or angled block. measure everything before and after. fender lip and pinion angle

Blue_tener · 11-01-2007, 02:25 AM

thanks my name is Theo

LayinRocker18 · 11-01-2007, 04:11 AM

i'm matt. i live in silverdale. i'd say we could do it at my house but i live on a navy base so it's hard to get civilians on and i'm technicaly not supposed to do "vehicle maintenance" in my garage. it's dumb and i don't listen to that rule anyway so it'sup to u?

Blue_tener · 11-01-2007, 08:15 PM

i would work around you, so what ever you like to do is fine with me. I dont have a lift or anything at work, and its a barn so its not quite a shop ( i dont think we have a wrench under 1in so i would have to bring my tools). i have no prob going to you house. Im just need a little more time to collect all the things i need. I think im gona get the pro drop from stylin. beltech shocks, sway bar, spring spacer, and some new bump stops. anything im forgeting

call me if you want 253-514-0967

idk if your forgetting anything. i dont remember what i did when i dropped mine static. i know i used a lift just because it's easier but i bagged mine on the ground so it shouldn't be that bad

mattryanmusic · 11-01-2007, 11:20 PM

Theo + Matt,
Bring it up to Ft. Lewis this weekend and We can do it at the craft shop. They've got a lift and tools, and if you two come up Sat morning we could have it done and you two can roll up to the Aftermath meeting that night.

mattryanmusic · 11-01-2007, 11:24 PM

I can also get you all the bellTech stuff from Baxters overnight with a military Discount, It ended up being cheaper than getting it online.

greencactus3 · 11-02-2007, 02:11 AM

<-- did my 5/6 on my driveway with a jack and 2 jackstands

mattryanmusic · 11-02-2007, 02:16 AM

That sucks, I got so used to working on a lift, that I won't go back.

greencactus3 · 11-02-2007, 02:25 AM

<-- never worked on a lift yet. so im used to it. cardboard boxes are comfy lol

unperfected · 11-02-2007, 02:33 AM
