Front Shaft Pics

bringing this one back up...im looking at options hows this working for you brandon??

So far it's worked out great. No bind at all. I have made 4 pulls at truck pull events with it and it is still holding up. No signs of fatigue. The pull last weekend is on youtube, but its without sound. I'm trying to figure out the whole sound issue. I still have the hopping going on, hopefully I will get that worked out over the winter.

have you tried traction bars?

 

[BDAMNRZ]

Yes, I built a set and had them on for the Millers Tavern pull. I think it is a combination of the front being light, the front being too high, and the hitch heght being too high. I have the rear susp. locked out during the pulls. I will make some changes over the winter to see what works. I will try to get some pics of the ladder bars posted over the weekend.

Did you have it balanced? How does it work on the street? Any vibrations?

 

[BDAMNRZ]

No the shaft is not balanced. Keep in mind it is a front shaft so it never gets to highway speeds.

Great info, thanks

So how is this shaft holding up? I'm thinking of going this route on my daily driver when I do the 6" lift. Will I need to have it balanced or is that just something to be concerned with on the rear shaft?
