Flat belly(clocked t-case) worth it?

ok, i get why you raised everything up. what i don't get it why add the carrier bearing. was it to push the driveshaft forward before it went to the axle, so there wasn't as much hanging down to defeat the purpose of the flat belly? or was it to get around the tranny pan? when you pushed it forward, you increased the d-shaft angle. you could have just went with u-joints at the t-case and axle and pobably have been fine with the angles.
Well,
The angle is SOOOO BAAAD, that joints wouldnt work. I tried every driveline possibility except the HAD 42*cv for a million bucks. I can get 50 degrees out of this. The flange at the t-case is maxxed out with what you see now.
The only other solution would be to lose the lift.
I also like the fact that my driveline is out of the way, and gives more flat pan surface. The tranny pan had nothing to do with the carrier bearring.
I know I have a strange set up, but it works very well. If someone has a better way, Im all for listening. I have yet to see another clocked comepletly flat 241 like mine. I wish I could just so I can see what someone else had to do. Some will show you a 208 but they are a little different.

thank you.
there is another way. these are what will be going into my 1-ton.
dana 60 yoke welded to a custom spacer, then bolted to the existing flange on your t-case. this is not my idea, there is another thread on here about it.
i also like getting more clearance for the d-shaft with moving it forward out of your setup.

I would like to see more info on this. I have a set of 60 stubs and I plan to make mine out of square tube so all I should need is the custom spacer.

one side is machined to fit the flange, the other side is sized to fit the cut off stub. it is .70 thick.
YZeater where do you get that slip joint part?

So how long is the slip you got? 7" ? Do you feel that will be adequate with a real flexy front suspension?

it's actually 9" slip. probably 7" usable. i have yet to build this shaft yet. altho i do feel this will work ok with my 52" springs up front.
thanks and sorry for the hijack

I notice none on the trail, so far. Though I do mostly rocks. But even in snow with wheel spin I have not had any issues. I do not street it in 4wd so I have not gone much over 35-40mph with the front engaged, though to that speed it was ok.
I doubt it is any worse than a square front shaft.
