well i guess it will be harder for bud to say no when he has a stock one in his hands. he may ask more $$ since it is very low production.

i installed a 2" drivetrain lift at both teh motor mounts and tcase. that caused a very bad angle on the front half of the rear shaft. high vibes at 50-55+ mph. i then swapped the tcase lift for a 1" unit. that fixed the rear driveline vibes, but i seemed to notice something else up front. it was probably just my imagination since i have never had a problem and erikb runs the same thing successfully. i would just ask bud make you a crossmember with a 1" lift. you cannot go to a 1 piece shaft at 66". it is just too long. you could notch your crossmember that holds the carrier bearing and then lift the carrier bearing 2". then you could get a full 2" lift at the tcase and have no vibes at all. you'd just have to rotate your rear pinion up a little higher, but that is easy.
