To answer your question houdini he is using a ford divorced case np205 which has more drop than factory nissan cases do. THe shaft will actuall fit right below the crossmember. It may need a little notch but not much. Using pre maid cross members it was much easier to place everything under there and get it square.

well i finally got to drive it! it drives real nice actually, a little bump steer but not too bad, shackle in the front doesn't help either. the brakes work good but could be a little better, gonna rebleed them and see if that helps if not time to do the 1-ton master. steering is going to take some getting used to. it takes a little more steering wheel to turn the wheels than it used to. but all in all it rides good and im very happy with how it turned out. now its time to build the rear axle and get it sitting level!

ive put like 350 miles on it as of now and everything is good except the shock mounts, which were fixed today. i nailed a bump and broke the pass side and cracked the driver one. ive started getting the parts for the rear so that should be up soon
