I'm gonna do a 2 piece DS in place of my 1 pc.

It's a crew cab 4wd. 143.5 WB

If you have pictures of your carrier bearing cross member post em up. I've read a few threads but not that many good pics or they were on a rcsb

 

interested to see it

 

Well I have a 5" $$$$$ Driveshaft Specialist shaft now but I'm making some changes so I'm not gonna spend 5-700$ on another 1 piece... I need a longer one so DS specialist said it'd be 400 cause basically it'd new a new core blah blah blah

 

Why the hell would you put 2 where 1 used to be?

 

lol, the 2-piece is a better design homie, especially for lowered guys, and modded.

 

Bump...

 

I believe a couple guys on customgm did the swap, bagged00 did iirc

 

I blew up my one piece at the track and used a ECSB 2 piece.

I had to do a couple of changes to make it work but I wanted to keep as many parts fatory GM as possible.


The crossmember was removeable and I set up the u-joint angles to work with my 6" drop in the rear.

 

This is what i was looking for. I was wondering how far back the crossmember had to be as I was seeing it was close to the fuel tank. Thanks for the pics. Did you have to do anything special as far as driveline angles? I assume just build the crossmember to suit your angles? Correct?

 

The centerline of the carrier bearing is 45" from the face of the transmission crossmember and everything else falls in place from there. Luckily I had an ECSB to take measurements for comparison. From what I remember I had 2.5 degrees for the u-joints and 5.5 degrees at the pinion. The only rework I really had to make was rotating the Evap canister similar to how the ECSB.
