Transfer case height is a lot better with the new plate

The new drive shaft arrived today. Really excited, except the bolt pattern from yoke from my transfer case doesn't line up. And the yoke that Adam's sent me is too long for the stubby slip yoke eliminater on my transfer case. Kinda frustrating. I'm machining the new yoke to fit. Probably going to have to turn it on the lathe a work.

Does making the yoke shorter make the shaft stick further in to where the u joint will be?

Yes, but the super short sye from jb conversions uses a really short yoke. I have to shorten it to be able to get thread engagement for the yoke nut. The new yoke is about 1/2" longer from the start of the splines than the old yoke. I'll still need to take it to work and turn it on the lathe. The sealing portion diameter is about .070" wider and will have to lengthen the sealing portion to .750".

All the machining is done on the transfer case rear output yoke. Everything fits nice and tight. New drive shaft is in. The next nice day I'll take it outside and make sure the transmission works after it was rebuilt at home.

Great work. I've been following your build, and you have a good one in the works. It's great you have the skills and tools to do all the things you show.

Looking at the driveshaft pic, have you checked how much spline engagement you will have left at full droop?
It could be the angle of the picture, but it looks like the control arms are longer than the driveshaft, so it will stretch as it drops.

Thank you. I had the same concern. I lifted the rear end until I was at full droop and still had spline engagement. There is 8" of splines there. If there turns out to be not enough, I'll shorten my control arms an inch or two.
