let me know if you think it would be wise to crank the keys a little more with the angle of that cv or not.

thanks
Ummm.. Your cv joint looked like mine when mine blew up. If I were you, I'd go and grip the shaft with both hands and see if you can move it. If it moves it's busted. It shouldn't sit that low on the casing. That's why my casing was all jacked up also.

^^^ Yep your's look good... I wouldn't go one more bit than this... If I had to guess if Mike pulled tape from his fender flare to the center of his hub he'd be right about 27 1/4" with a 3" BL
