Thinking a little more unusual.  Maybe S10 or Colorado based?  Maybe.  :-X

MUST have a frame.  Not dealing with all the extra bracing you unibody guys deal with.  Back on topic...

Nice. Did one Rausch trip prove that stalling and O2 wires were related issues?

Yeah buddy!
Shoving the case up an inch. Almost clears the bottom of the frame rail. Extending a front double cardan shaft and its gonna work perfect.

For my reference before I forget
Existing shaft 31"
Lengthen 6.25" to 37.25"
Gives .5" clearance of bottoming slip at full bump
Shaft length at full droop is 38.5

Check double cardan clearance at full droop
Check pinion angle can be adjusted properly and upper links can get long enough

Possible to put a bend in the square tube to get it flush with the side plates?

front driveshaft clearance and exhaust clearance are about as tight as they can be. I could have notched the 2x2 out for them, but the tcase skid will have to drop down to that height anyway.

An extra 1/4" of clearance without that pesky steel in the way ;D
