What are your u joint working angles? If you don't know measure the trans angle, driveshaft angle, and diff pinion angle and post those numbers and we'll help you out.

Kinda hard to mess up a new gear unless they are making noise. Also why was the driveshaft shortened?

Im assuming it was shortened because of the backwards saddles, if they were backwards like mentioned above.

You shouldn't have issues with the motive gears. I sell them all day and run them in all of my personal vehicles. What angles did you end up measuring at the trans yoke, pinion yoke, and driveshaft?

Guys going to get it jacked up today and check all the angles again and I'll report back, oh btw the gears are loud as hell, had a lot of gears installed over the years but never herd any this loud!

If they make noise get them out of there! An they make diff 14b gears other than motive.
My yukons are making more noise now than ever. Yet i think the back lash was set a tad loose. 60k of pure abuse an they just now are making noise. Gonna throw an oem set in

That's my next move some GM gears, my other thing is my I bolt, by the time I stack the shim and the airbag bracket there's not much left of it for the flip kit bracket, I may try and weld a small nut on top of it for a little more length. THANKS!

You're talking about the bolt that holds the leaf pack together? Your helper bag bracket goes between the leaf pack and your flip kit saddle and the bag bracket takes up half of the bolt head height so you're worried the saddle may move?

If that is the case, you shouldnt be worried. Theyre just there for rough alignment. Once you tighten the u-bolts you have 50,000+ lbs of clamping force holding everything together. My 5/8" grade 8 u-bolts have about 80,000 lbs of clamping force @ 170 ft-lbs of torque. Nothing should move once you have those u bolts torqued. Just retorque after a few hundred miles and check them periodically to make sure theyre still tight. Also make sure you're using quality u bolts and torque them down to the correct spec.
