I have spent a couple of hours comtemplating the modification. I believe that I will do both. Get a clocking ring and modify my tranny pan. Clocking the x-case up will move the yoke/shaft away from the pan. Clocking it down will give you more clearance on the side and under the pan towards the front edge of the pan. If you use a stock low profile pan. clocking it down will definitely give you what you need for clearance with the ability to upgrade you output shaft yoke to a 1350/ big shaft upgrade (yummy) I am going to attempt this with a deep TCI cast aluminum pan and then go to Tom woods for the driveshaft. They make the "suprer flex"u-joint/yoke combo that use a thicker walled, smaller diameter tube that I believe you can get in a 1310 yoke, maybe larger. I could be wrong: Have faith brother, there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Watch out on those Super flex joints...they like to vibrate at high revs. What I have done in the past is drop the T-case 1" and used aty least a 4" spring. Worked great but their are alot of ways to go. As long as your pinion snub/bump stop holds true you should never have any problems. the first time I did the swap years ago when waggies were $$$$$$$$ I MELTED a drivesahft in half...is disbelief I grabbed the end of it only to make my fingers shiney
Yep, I read about them and I beleive they even have a disclaimer when you buy them. I have at least a 4" spring over. I have 2.5 in the springs and had some spring perches made from box tubing. Theres at least another 2 inches there, all on top of the axle. Again, I am running 42"TSLs----
I thought I would give ole' Tom woods a call and pick thier brains----
Have you ever seen anyone mount a CV joint at the diff pinion??? You could protect it with some plate welded to the pumpkin (theory only)
Hey Bret--- I just ordered a clocking ring from Go2Guy- Ken Blume down in Arkansas. His clocking ring is steel and only 1/4 thick. The second or third adjustment will bring the center of your output shaft up 3-1/4' and due to the radius will move the output away from your tranny 1". That does not sound like much but I check out mine and I believe now I can get a larger diameter (HD) driveshaft with out the worry of hitting the tranny pan. BINGO!!!!!- Ken was great to chat with--- Very informative.
