Anyone used this Np241 clocking ring?

Well I have a 4L80E which is a fairly long tranny so I'm hoing that will compensate for the angle. Y'all think a 241 clocked all the way up with a 4L80E and D60 in stock location with 6" lift will give me a bad angle problem? Should I leave the 1" flange spacer in when I get the shaft lengthened or take it out for the lengthening? I'm deffinately going to be building a new crossmember anyway so I'm assuming it'd be better to take it out. Thx

I would take out that spacer because that will make the driveshaft longer which will help with the angles some /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

I'm not Positive but I think it's a 6* Shim.

[/ QUOTE ] Yes I am useing my stock front driveshaft which I extended myself by simple cutting it and sleeving it with a longer tube and then welding it to the yokes at the end.
Afroman-- I would suggest getting rid of the spacer that you have. 2 reasons. First it lengthens the mounting surface further forward which puts a greater angle on your front driveshafts(it's only an inch I know but any little bit helps) and the second reason is because if your getting your driveshaft lenghtened then you don't need it.

of your front drive shaft, to see how you extended it. and your front end angles.
thanks
thanks
Esteban how is your exhaust routed now. I want to run the belly pan (I have already clocked my tcase with the ring off of ebay)but I think that my t case will get to hot by running the exhaust imbetween it and the frame rail on the passenger side?

That is exactly where I ran mine. Between the framerails and the t-case. I plan on cutting up my floor boards soon so I will probably see about moveing it away from the t-case a bit more but as for now there is no problem. The drivers side runs straight back and then the passenger side go under the tailhouseing of the t-case and join into the drivers side right behind the skid plate.

I put some more pics up of my setup. The drivers side exhaust is temp so no wisecracks on it. /forums/images/graemlins/shame.gif

Cool, I like your skidplate. I think I'll do something similar, just not quite as large /forums/images/graemlins/whistling.gif. Also, I think I'll add some kind of hole to aid in fluid drain, it seems like it would be a PITA to have to drop that whole plate just to change the fluid. Anyway, spiffy design.
