Rockwell Drive Line Angles

[8379qtj10]

I have had this on my mind a while....

If the Pinion is pretty much centered on a rockwell axle how does the transfer case line up with the pinion flange??

Do you clock the T-case until it lines up or.....??
Everything else is like drivers drop/passenger drop and seem to line up pretty good.

A u joint doesn't care if the angle is north/south or east/west. It will run with the pinion offset just like it will run with the axle sitting lower than the t-case.

the pinion on the rockwell is definitely offset, both front & rear... the rear is only slightly, but the front is offset almost as much as a standard axle, so it doesn't cause issues... it only looks centered because the 3rd member is wide...

and like Chris said, the u-joint doesn't care which way it's going, just have to make sure the driveshaft clears everything...

Read thru this, you can flip chunks or axles to do what you want for alignment;

Plus, tons of info on pirate and other places.
