Trapn6.0 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Not sure if that is the correct term or not. I see many people doing a soa conversion, but it seems everyone re welds their perches at the same angle as stock. I know most people probobly don't run enough lift for the need. Is there something I'm missing why more people don't re weld them to get a better driveline angle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnkyboy Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Everyone should be adjusting for pinion angle when welding perches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mvusse Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Lifting your axle does not change the correct pinion angle. Going to a double cardan CV joint driveshaft, or changing the transfer case output shaft angle does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incommando Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Here are a couple of chart thats may be more representative of our need's in the 4x4 world and includes a rough guide for both types of u-joints: Even though all are a little crude the next two show the importance of having as long of drive shaft as possible to aid in keeping the angles right when compared to the top one.

jimoshel Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I make all my driveshafts out of flex tubing. Don't have to worry about angles. :yes: :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carnuck Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Did you know there really used to be a cable driveshaft used years ago? I think it was 1930 or 1940 something Oldsmobile. It weighed nearly as much as the motor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It weighed nearly as much as the motor! Pontiac did it, too, in the mid-60s. I think the car was called the Tempest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
