Maybe this article will help with your setup.

Thank you all for the responses. A rear ARB locker is installed and the springs are mounted with anti-Inversion greaseable shackles. I have add pictures of the drive shaft angle and shims. If I correctly understand everyones comments, I think the rear axle is pointing to high, thus a smaller shim is needed. Thoughts?View attachment 2777110View attachment 2777111

Where can one buy a spicer double joint rear driveshaft for FJ40 with H55F?

Have you checked out Tom Woods driveshafts or maybe you have a local driveline/driveshaft shop? It sounds like you looking for a double cardan joint. Spicer or Dana Spicer is an American driveline manufacturer.

My 40 also has the H55 trans and a split TC. Also have a double cardan drive shaft. You got a nicer floor, and your rig is really clean, but mine looks almost identical, including pinion pointing up a little too much.

I used 5* shims under spring perches to get what I have. 3* would likely have been better.

Edit: Also bought driveshafts from tom woods.
