I was just wondering I can just put a switch for the distributer, a switch for the fuel pump and a push start and thats really all the wireing i need right http://www.mudding.org/forum/how-to-6/wiring-questions/ Wed, 01 Feb 2012 00:25:43 +0000 tyler http://www.mudding.org/forum/how-to-6/driveline-geometry-101/ Tom Wood's Custom Drive Shafts wrote a fantastic article about how exactly a drive shaft works including all the geometry you need to know to calculate the angle of the drive shaft and recommended joints depending on the lift or specific application.

One important tip I gained from it is this:

"Most drive shafts will, depending on components used, incur a binding interference at about 30 degrees. You DO NOT , I repeat DO NOT want to run a drive shaft at any where near this angle. you need to allow for axle droop, frame flexing and differential roll. All of which can momentarily alter the operating angle of the "U " joint to the point that it will cause what I refer to as an IMMEDIATE & CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. Ultimately you need to be certain that your driveline will rotate freely under full axle droop."
