Thanks, I had a great ANZAC day!

Hunted down a few electrical gremlins with the truck's alarm system.

I had a big of a creep underneath to check out the drive shaft center bearing. With the truck raised about 3" there is a slight angle through the center uni-joint, but no more than the angle between the shaft and the diff center. In theory it looks possible to undo the 2 support bolts which protrude about an inch through the center bearing support bracket and put in some spacer material, like a steel piece with holes drilled in, it for the bolts to go through, the reattach the bearing bracket with the shaft being marginally straighter.

Has anyone done this sort of thing? Surely the guys running 8" lift must have done something like this...
