Thanks for the explanation. I have an M916 with the 45k rear winch. It amazes me how easy I can drag that truck with the winch. We have used a backhoe as an anchor (stabilizers down & buckets dug in) for it.

I truly hope not everyone has registered there "toys" !

What are you intending to pull with it ? Just seems like you will be dragging the truck backwards.

Is that a rear bench seat out of a crew cab ? My rear crewcab (r/v series) seat doesn't lock. Matter a fact my m1031 bench doesn't lock either.

Keep us posted, always like to hear a good wrecker mystery !

Matt Can't believe you joined ! Chrome !!! Really ??? Put that chrome on your blazer ... Post up some pics of that m1008

If you do decide to use a zero rate, figure out your pinion angle & buy a tapered zero rate, so your not stacking spring, zero rate & shim.

There is nothing special about your rear driveshaft. Your over thinking this RETURN the rear springs (might be the right pn but wrong part). Buy a different brand of rear springs or do a shackle flip or ??? Why keep throwing money at what is obiviously the wrong setup ?

Is that a standard military wrecker bed ?

The reason I ask is aside from the "shims" I have never seen a 4in kit pull the drive shaft that far back (in your pic) Ive worked at a 4 wheel drive shop in the past. I have installed 100's of lift kits & only seen this issue when the wrong part was supplied. Is your center pin "centered" on...

Post the part #'s on the rear springs. You talk about sending the whole kit back & going with a 2in. Why not get the correct rear springs for your blazer ???? Your talking to the wrong driveshaft company's if they don't feel comfortable lengthening it or building one. Find a REAL driveline shop !

None today... They are all recuperating from the long weekend !

DO NOT drop the t-case. You will just be making things worse for yourself. OR if you don't care about the frt shaft, pull the t-case, make it 2wd It will make your driveshaft a lot longer & fix your angles. LEAVE the t-case alone, choose what style rear shaft your gonna go with & adjust rear...

The dodge 208's have a fixed yoke. You might try searching. OR you could swap to a 241 there are slip yoke kits for those. Fix the spring issue 1st.

Wow !!! DO NOT drive it with the driveshaft like that. I would send those rear springs back !!! Something is difinately wrong with that setup.

Brad We did some Cat shifters a few years ago. I thought it had gotten better, I guess not ! Some people can't handle "power" LOL. I will contact you about another matter. Talk to you soon. Good luck ! Ray

Might be a little off subject but will say this I did a group buy with Artisan awhile back. He ran the show, did all the work, kept me informed & stayed on top of everything until deal was done. I wouldn't hesitate to jump into another deal with him.

Wow sounds like they should send you the CORRECT parts.

You did make sure you didn't install the springs backwards ?

When you drop the tcase your "tilting" it. It makes the frt shaft point that much higher (counter productive)
