Roger, When I look at pictures of you crawling the Golden Crack I know why you think of maximizing your CV joint's angle. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" /> I think my mostly stock, mostly street driven truck could get by for a while with an IFS shaft with no problem.

Thanks for the tech link on modifying the clearance on the IFS shaft. Now I just need to learn how to replace the center stud ball (see pic below). NAPA and NWOR <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> sell the repair ball kit.
