A truck for the "scary suspension" archives

technically yes, some guys do run the slip yoke on the bottom end. I don't remember why though

Slip yoke portion doesn't dent if you bump a rock...the fixed end is weaker so it's kinda better to have it up at the high end and keep it protected.

I lost a rear driveline in Moab because of that. Had I run it the other way it would have survived the small bump it got rather than turning inot a pretzel.

drive shaft

So i can run it backwords so what happens when i drive on the streets does it work the same and will it vibrate?

Did it look something like this?

That's why I now run the smaller (MUCH harder to dent) side at the axle side, like this:

No problems since.
