Does this look right?

i was looking under the spare blazer i have and the prop shaft is straight, it isn't at an angle like my sy is in this pic.

Re: If your truck is on jack stands

yours isn't at as much of an angle as mine, how many miles does your truck have on it? my truck has low miles however the front diff was from a different truck. maybe it's the bushings? i hope so

134,xxx miles on it, and the bushings have REALLY degraded, thanks to all that oil down there.......

Re: If your truck is on jack stands

Why would it on the ground make a difference lol. The diff isn't the area that's sagging. Unless that's your problem. Or its broken the mounts and the diff has rotated.

What crossmember and mount is that on the tranny. It looks a little to big. Its raising up the rear of the tranny too much it looks like. Id like to see a pic of the angle of the rear shaft and the clearance of the tail shaft to the torsion bar crossmember. At that angle there's probably a huge gap in between them.

Re: If your truck is on jack stands

do you have a syty tranny to xfer case adaptor? It's different than a 4x4 blazer one

Re: If your truck is on jack stands

check to see how much your trans mount has squashed

will check that

i don't have a rear driveshaft yet, nor is the torsion bar crossmember in yet, so i can't base off those yet

i assume its the right adaptor, i'll look into that more as well.

Re: If your truck is on jack stands

well i had a few minutes to snap pics and take a quick look, didn't notice anything out of the ordinary underneath, i hope to figure out the issue soon though, just have no idea what the deal is.

tranny mount looks ok

between the t-case and floor, seems to be a fair amount of room, looks smaller in the pic though
