Hello All,
I have a slinky 3in lift and the expected drive line vibration up front after correcting caster 5deg with dobson plates. Currently I've been driving with the front shaft removed and all the vibrations are gone. Over the weekend I picked up a rear driveshaft off an '01 Tacoma ext cab to re-tube. When I jack the truck up by the frame so the front axle is hanging at max droop and put that shaft up to the transfer case flange, it appears the DC joint is at or slightly past maximum angle to align with the pinion flange. Have people had success with the Toyota DC joint with slinky springs and shocks? What are people running on a 4-6in lift to get enough angle out of the DC joint? I would have expected to have a few deg of "extra capacity" in the joint to account for axle wrap, etc so the shaft doesn't go into bending.
