.... did you heat and beat the crossmember so that the diff doesn't hit it?....

Hope that helps... -Eric


Sorry to jump in late on this thread. I haven't heard of this "Heat and Beat" ....are you talking about bending up the crossmember where the "3rd" member sits? Is this to increase clearance between the two?





how do I make it run 2 driver side shafts, and can I buy a modified cup cv shaft. I just went out and opened the cv boot and only 1/8 inch if the shaft is in the cup


Hagen Documented the widening and the use of "2" driver side CVs here.

I think that would solve your problem, like Wild suggested.





any pics of this wild?


Wild show it off in another thread. Basically he lengthened the inner cup, to allow the CV range to be more acceptable. This is different from using "2" driver side axles as linked above......I've seen before....took awhile to dig.....

 pic from that thread is below.



So about this "Heat and Beat"....
