I placed my order today and I will get it on Wednesday. I'll make sure to take some pics.

i now have the correct Ujoint i got from napa. i can get part number tomorrow
but i did find out something major. the pinion angle with the 14bolt and my 3/4 drop ******* blows!!! its so postive that my ds smacked the floor of the truck when i took the truck for a trial run today. also found out that somehow the SSR that was working for lenght is now shorter. the truck must of settled and now DS is too short
but tomorrow i will hopefully be installing 3* shims i picked up. to see how much that changes the angle
you will probably need shims even at stock ride height to get it correct. i think i might need more then 3* worth of shims

Yea if you can post the part number I would greatly appreciate it. I'm at a 4" drop in the rear too, so more than likely I'll need the same shim.

The NAPA part no. is 240-0447 for the u-joint that goes from the 1350 yoke down to the stock size. Only problem is no one offers it in a heavy duty version. I searched high and low but came up empty. I just decided to go with a Denny's driveshaft and 1350 joints front and rear.

ok heres my results...... i used a 3* shim and now my pinion angle is straight with the driveshaft. so its nice. i wish i could make it alittle negative i might get another shim to drop it down some for hooking but right nwo its how it should be
so 3* shim iswhaty ou need with 4" rear drop and 14bolt
i also found out somehow even with my t56 and 14bolt my stock DS is correct lenght. i guess my rear settled with truck being driven
