Custom Driveshafts
Those of you that have had custom driveshafts made for the Superlift or RCD kits and did not buy the Superlift Driveshaft can you post some pics of the driveshaft they made?
My local driveshaft shop cannot make the flange or even get the flange that goes from the transfer case to the Double cardon joint.
This is all I need to make my truck 4wd again.
I called Superlift to see if I could get a hold of that piece and they do not offer to sell them and the people that make them for Superlift do not sell just pieces.
When i get home i will take some pics of what I'm talking about if you are confused.
If anyone knows where i could get a hold of one of these pieces I would greatly appreciate it!

are you talking about the flange like is on the rear driveshaft that bolts to the transfer case?
if so, you could possible get a driveshaft from a '97 and older Ranger and use the front part of that driveshaft.......my front driveshaft doesn't have the double cardon in it and we have the same transfer case.....

I'm wondering if i could take the output shaft off and put one on from a 1350 transfercase... then i would not need this funky flange.

my '97 has a 1354 t-case......the exact same 1 that is in the '98+ trucks....i don't see why there is any difference in them.......
you could use the u-joint flange and it would actually be better than the double cardon that you have now.....

I have my stock one, but the drive shaft place said they could not do anything with it.

just to make this clear.
when you say CV that jey used you mean a Double Cardon Ujoint?
because in my situation i see that piece/adapter, then anther piece then my Double Cardon Ujoint then the shaft.
Jey is not using a "CV Joint" like what the stock ranger has right?
If I had the piece that bolts to the other half of the Double Cardon Ujoint and it didnt match up to my Tcase that is no problem i would just make my own adapter.
I wish i was close to home so i could get some pics to help explain.
