| Drive shaft angle
So I searched but didn't find anything or I couldn't think of the right words but was wondering if anyone has figured out a way to improve the angle of the drive shaft with the hand brothers kit, because I noticed that my drive shaft is a little steep, I got the mip shaft so I know the angle can be more than normal but I'm just wondering if anyone has found a way to improve it

If you lengthen the top link (spacers, longer link etc) it will straighten up the shaft. That's the only way to do it without totally re-doing the axle truss. |

+1 to wideload. After I put my high clearance links on my AX10 I had to extend my upper links to get a better angle on my rear drive shaft. Simple to do and made a lot of difference. That's the nice thing about using allthread for your upper link, it's super cheap and easy to adjust.

I was thinking the same thing but you can only lengthen it so much before the pan hard starts to twist on you and it's not positioned right, I put a fairly good size spacer on my upper link but the drive shaft is still angled more than I would like

Your limited by panhard hitting mnt at axle. Theres only soo much you can rotate it. I ran mine w summit tranny, and even w all the extra speed, never lost a shaft due to steeper angle.
