front drivelin yoke and u-joint is hitting
i lifted 1976 ford f100 about 8 iches, and i put drop radius arm brackets and all that on the front but when i went to put the front driveline in it couldnt turn, i beleive it is the yoke and u joint hitting, anyone ever run into this and if you did how did you fix it??? i still need to get the driveline itself lengthended but i want to wait to get it all done at once so it doesnt end up costing me more... i would appreciate any ideas you have

I will post again and take this to the top. I don't understand why the 4 by 4 guys havent helped you ,I 'm not in to 4by4s so I don't know what to tell you. One sugestion if you can't get help here is to take it to the 78 --79 bronco site. Your truck is looking good even if I like them low,low and lower. JIM

$$ Welcome to the world of lifted trucks $$ Check out this link, it should answer most of your questions. I don't know what you have planned for the truck but an easier way and cheaper is to go with a 4" suspension lift and a 3" body lift almost the same total lift without the headache.
