truck is complete jacked up right now.

I know a guy can come help me soon, but Someone would have to line it up while rolling it from the rear??

Yeah, then you will have to line up the splines to get it back in. Might have to turn the drive shaft little each way to get them lined up until it goes in smoothly. And be careful not to damage the seal.

Is it a one or 2 piece drive shaft if its one piece you have to guide it into the Transmission spline if 2 piece then you have to get back onto the spline at the carrier bearing,You have to loosen the Dust boot Nut to allow it to slide in,You're probably better off just taking the U Bolts off of the Differential Pinion and drop the drive shaft then roll the right wheel forward. Calm Down its not that bad of a situation You can Do It!!!

Unbolt the driveshaft from the axle, roll axle around as needed, bolt it up to the springs, install driveshaft.

Agreed! Think if I can get another set of hands that will be the plan. Just drop the drive shaft, line up the rear again and get the drive shift slipped back in..

hey maybe i can get the rear blocks in then too 😅
