Bringing this thread back from the dead because I am very interested in this rear CV shaft you guys speak of. I have a 98 Tahoe with a RCX lift kit. Im using 5" lift blocks in the rear with a small shim. Not sure of the angle. Front is cranked so the truck sits level. I have the NP241 TC. I dont feel a lot of vibration while driving but I know there is some there. I am running a Dana 60 rear axle with a 1350 yoke. I am running a conversion U joint on the rear of the driveshaft. I get about 2 years out of it.
Id like to venture into upgrading a few parts on my rig. Id like to get rid of the blocks and get my 5" of lift from new leaf springs and possibly a shackle flip kit from ORD. Im not familiar with what will happen once the shackle flip brackets go on either. Not sure if something else has to be changed.
I do not wheel the truck. Its my DD. I just constantly worry that my rear driveshaft will fall out due to a failed U joint. Id like to upgrade to something else and this CV you guys speak of may be the ticket. I need more info!!!
