    Static Pinion Angle Thoughts?

    There is nothing special about your rear driveshaft. Your over thinking this RETURN the rear springs (might be the right pn but wrong part). Buy a different brand of rear springs or do a shackle flip or ??? Why keep throwing money at what is obiviously the wrong setup ?

    Static Pinion Angle Thoughts?

    The reason I ask is aside from the "shims" I have never seen a 4in kit pull the drive shaft that far back (in your pic) Ive worked at a 4 wheel drive shop in the past.

    Post the part #'s on the rear springs. You talk about sending the whole kit back & going with a 2in. Why not get the correct rear springs for your blazer ????

    The dodge 208's have a fixed yoke. You might try searching. OR you could swap to a 241 there are slip yoke kits for those. Fix the spring issue 1st.

    When you drop the tcase your "tilting" it. It makes the frt shaft point that much higher (counter productive)

    DO NOT do the tcase drop it only makes things worse ! with single ujoints at each end you will want the angles same or within 1 degree.
