Ok just installed teraflex 2.5 lift rear driveshaft seems not to bad not a horrable angle. Plus i have read i can get it even better with upper rear control arms correct? The front is a differnt story.by the diff all seems well. On the other end its a nasty angle maybe just 1/8" or a 1/4 from smacking. Do others with this lift have the same thing? Can it be fixed at all with control arms? If so how? I do have a replacment front coast d/s in the garage just would like to run this till its absolutally necessary. I have heard many running this setup with no problems so maybe im just paranoid. BTW its a 2 door auto x. some pics of finished product with tube fenders right around the 43" mark.

You have a new d.s. in the garage and don't want to use it???!!!!???
Not sure of how that works, but ok...
As far as the stock one goes, run it till you do have to put on the new one...... and yes, adjustable control arms will help with you're angles.......

im just tired did alot last 2 days

2.5 teraflex lift
fox shocks front and rear
full tracktion adj trackbars
teraflex st sway system
fox steering stabalizer

by myself got some medical problems so I dont feel like putting the driveshaft in. Thats the only reason. im pooped. I much rather adjust some angles. Or hear people just running it the way it is.

like I said I understand I think from reading posts rear pinion can be set with rear uppers. Theres 100s of people on here with a vast knowledge about this stuff on here. I dont know anything about the front so I need the info come on show me the info haha

Maybe check the FAQ but I think with the auto you have to trim the tranny skid. A quick search will probably get you the right answer.

thanks i usually try to do a search before i ask. i have found yes on droop you will hit the skid. Thats an easy fix. I am more concerned about running the shaft at that angle. I have found alot more posts on rears not so much on the fronts.
