What type of driveshaft correction did you run with a NP208 and 6 inch lift on your truck? My driveshaft rubbed the crossmember so I put a spacer in but only 3 bolts lined up:confused:

Truck in question is an 84 k10
 
What kind of shape is your tranny mount in? If its worn out and squished it may help to replace it.

I also raised the t-case about a 1/2". Doing this you'll have to watch your rear driveshaft angle though as it will make the angle at the t-case steeper. It didnt hurt mine but every truck is different.

I replaced the transmission and motor mounts with poly. The transmission mount was trashed.
 
along with the x-member issue,I would grind out the cv of the driveshaft so it can flex/droop more,I can't find a thread on it though,can anyone help here?
