My rear driveshaft vibrates like a mutha****a so I am going to get one re-tubed and balanced at BVD. I dont want to risk cracking another transmission case.

I got my front end torn apart on saturday. I am moving the axle forward ~8" and will be reconfiguring the steering so the draglink connects to the arm behind the axle. I am currently running a superlift 4" drop pitman arm and the drivers side spring kisses the draglink end on hard compression. I read about using a late 90's Jeep cherokee pitman arm on pirate. It has just enough bend in it to clear the frame but postitions the draglink end much higher than the superlift arm.

Here is the difference in drop between the two.


The only problem is that the indexing splines on the jeep arm are ~20 degrees off from what is "correct" for my Chevy box.

Here is the jeep arm on top of the superlift arm with the indexing splines lined up.


Now my thoughts on the jeep arm are to just run it, and correct the draglink adjustment (in this case, lengthen it). Could this cause any problems with steering geometry? I will be installing hydro-assist at the same time so I am not worried about bumpsteer.
