Ok that makes sense. Didn't think about 2wd vs 4wd, but 2wd would need a longer drive shaft without a transfer case.

All the NBS F-150's have a two piece driveshaft... Ford ran out of aluminum or saved it all for the 2015... LoL

Looks like you went a little far with the cut off wheel...

Also torque those bolts all the way to what they suggest, it will seem to crush the crossmember a bit but if you don't it will make a lot of noise.

If you don't get the instructions by tonight, I can scan my instructions at home.

Also note in [MENTION=60537]rangeransom[/MENTION] second pic, all the washers on the bolts to make sure the bolts don't hit the cab. I cut mine shorter, but washers will work as well.
