4l80e 4x4 swap- Driveshaft question
Just got a question for you 4x4 4l80e swap guys. I know the 4l80e is 1 11/16" longer (thanks Atomic) than a 4l60e. What did you do for the front shaft? The only guy i can find decent around me will shorten and balance the rear for $80 bucks. For the front though, he wants 2-300 since he does a whole new tube and everything or i can get one custom made, for even more. Any other options out there that are cheaper? If i remember right, on my tahoe the yoke is almost all of the way into the t-case, leaving about 5-6" of spline contact. would you be alright losing some of that any not lengthening it? considering the front diff and t case stay mostly stationary?
