Rear driveshaft angles (1 Viewer)

More info on the CV Shaft.. Driveshaft CV Modification for Increased Angle

i got lucky and found a shaft with the 35 degree working angle and did not need to do the mod

A 1310 output from the t-case is around $75. NEapco also makes a flange to adapt a 1310 to the rear diff, I don't know cost yet. I do already have MOST of a 1310 dc shaft, so that might be the cheapest way to go. Not necessarily the best. I know the 1310 dc shaft is in just about every jeep cherokee ever made, so pretty easy to find. There is no way to convert a 1330 joint to the early diff with bolt on parts. It can be done but requires a trip to the machine shop for custom drilling a blank flange and a shaft from an explorer.

The Toy dc from a 84-85 will be harder to find, atleast around here. When I move to CO that'll probably be different.

So is the 84-85 already clearanced from Toyota or can it be done to get even more than the 35*? The tutorial on clearancing is a HUGE Help. Thanks, that rocks.

As of right now I have to stay with the early pinions. I just got a front in to put in the rear as the rear was bad, and I need the $$ to finish the project. If I get fine splines later I can just get a flange from Kurt then. I'm not too worried about strength as the traction bar should keep it alive.

Time to price out some parts.

all the solid axle mini trucks had the ~35 Degree cv's in the front, but only the 84-85 are larger and stronger.. then they used the same cv on the IFS trucks, but most of them have less working angle.. for some odd reason the CV i pulled out of my IFS 4runner had 35 degrees, but it could have been a fluke, or a PO Mod. I will look for one for you at the junkyard next time im there..

xj nation what are you doing for the front driveshaft?

I have a 265/205 w/ a 14 bolt diff.

I am using a 1310 cv 32 spline yoke for the rear tcase output. the driveshaft will be a 1310cv w/ a 1350 on the diff end and it shoud be a bout 24 inches

I am strugling w/ the front driveshaft, since the one that the drivetrain came w/ it's no good.

I am looking into buying a flange for the t-case front output to use the LC driveshaft.

As it is, I am not to sure of the splines on the front output on the 205.

does anybody know the splines?

the donor was a 3/4 ton 77 chevy truck

So I gotta ask, 22 1/2" frame height really that high???

On 35's... kinda. Mine was 23" on 38's & SOA leafs.

but I also had a driveline angle problem.. limit the droop or cough up the bucks.. If it's mainly a trail rig, minitruck u-joints are good to 42°, and the vibes aren't THAT bad..
