Was that the Mini-Moab trip I missed? 
I'm missing all the good ones this year. It's ok though I'm going to CM07 and that's final. Just need a cage, antiwrap and locker...oh and fix those damn leaks and I should be all set
Good lookin 40!!

You not getting any vibration from the uneven angles on that driveline? How close is your pitman arm swing to the tierod? I pulled mine forward & decided to bend up some 1 1/2" 1/4" wall DOM for my tierod instead of going hydro which may have been easier. Nothing hits here:

driveshaft is high angle drivelines ( awesome customer service) , it was 279 for retube and 12" slip joint
the pic below is close to full droop and you can see the angle arent to shabby,

Up to what speed? How about with the hubs locked at 60mph? I can't believe that there's "no vibes whatsoever"...

why do you not believe. does your rig vibe that bad?
i rarely drive 60 in 2 wd. but yes at 50-55 no vibrations, jesse does good work.
No it doesn't, but the angles are close to factory. Regardless of how well Jesse does when it comes to making drivelines, the reason I am skeptical is because of the different angles of your driveshaft at the pinion and the 'case.
U-joints are designed to operate in phase with each other, and when one is out of phase you're going to have a lot of vibration by the fact that the driveshaft is moving up and down the splines as the turns. A CV, by keeping the driveshaft in phase (since your pinion u-joint isn't really moving) cancels each other out. Since you don't have a CV at the transfer case, your pinion at the diff is point at the case, your angles are therefore not the same, hence my skepticism when it comes to you saying you have no vibrations.
On the truck I currently drive, no vibrations. But on other trucks that I built because of a differnce in angles, yes I had some bad vibration.
What do you mean you usually don't drive 60mph in 2wd? I'm curious as to whether you have vibration in 4wd, at speed (trail speed is not the point).
