So I'm wanting to shorten a driveshaft to fit a 77 K5.
The rig is lifted maybe 4 inches.
U-Joints on either end, with a slip in the center.
This will be for the rear.
How do I know the proper length? Do I just shorten the driveshaft so that when its installed, the slip yoke is in the center position? Obviously, I want to avoid the driveshaft from being compressed too far resulting in damage to something, and I also want to prevent the slip yoke from coming apart.
Any info available on this?
