Need help with drive shaft angles

I’m assuming they taper a degree for every inch of lift meaning roughly a 2.5” degree taper. If I replace it with a flat block my number theoretically would be closer to the 8.8 I’m trying to achieve, right? However, I still may need a small shim fat side forward like you’re saying.

only one way to find out. Haha

I have a wixey digital inclinometer on its way this week. I’m going to remove my drive shaft next weekend and get accurate measurements of all angles and go from there.

I will keep you posted. I really appreciate the walk through help.

It’s almost game time!

 

You need to check how your current blocks are mounted and direction of taper. If they're installed tall-side forward you'll need a block with additional taper. If they are installed tall-side rearward, your proposed flat blocks should work.

 

They are installed with the smaller side forward. Okay, I’ll try out the flat block option
