front driveshaft question

[one]

I just installed some 4" bds springs in the front of my k5(with ORD heavy duty shackles). My driveshaft is too short now...damn. Its almost all the way out of the yoke at ride height and the yoke won't come out any further. Does anyone know where I can get a longer driveshaft or have mine lengthened? Any tricks to this? Am I missing something here?

all right, all right, its filled out...by the way why does it say pavement pounder under my name? /forums/images/graemlins/k5.gif

 

[zakk]

because only pavement pounders do not fill out their profile.

Southbay Driveline down here in San Jose is a great place. Great guy, stands by his work. usually 24-48 hr. turn around.

thanks, i'll give him a ring. I'm wondering why I can't pull off the yoke...hmmm. I think I'm still missing something here.

no..your missing lube. you need to lube your driveshafts each time you wheel, or each oil change.

also, pull the front, lube the splines by hand to be uber-safe

Unscrew the cap on the slip yoke and it will slide off then. The rubber will make it tight, but it will come off.
