jefe,

I had a D35 SUA with a SYE & Tom Woods driveshaft with 3" springs.
When I went to SOA, 8.8 & stock springs I didn't have to touch the driveshaft. ;D
If you use the M.O.R.E 8.8 perch's you can adjust your axle forward and backwards by and inch. The perch's have 3 holes in them for positoning the centering pin. I used the middle position. Worked out great. Just about the same extension on the slip spline after the conversion.

I've had him work on my rear driveshaft twice, no problems. This time, I handed him the yoke from my super shorty SYE, the 8.8 flange-to-U-joint adapter, and the current DS I had, and pretty much said 'Make it work'. Guy knows his stuff, and then some (ie he told me what F-250 had the 1310-1330 conversion U-joint that was used etc.) My last job w/ him cost me $85 in labor & another $100 in parts (he had to replace a couple of U-joints & a piece on my Double Cardan joint).
