that jack is awesome. great idea.

my tranz is out of a 89-91 Civic Si it should be pretty strong. I will end up running my pillow bearing horizontal.  I dont really have the room to make my tranny move,so i guess I need to be cleaver with the heat issue.

you have a nice looking ride. i cant wait till mine is done

Without going out to look I think they are 17F/18R
I'm also running a air blower on my chain. I went through three chains last year (non o ring) and keeping a lot of lube on it they will stretch.

I'm stuck at the moment getting my ass kicked by my trailing arms.  my axle grows by about 10"...I was thinking if I could find a sliding axle with 28splined ends this would solve my problems? any thoughts?

You will HAVE to redesign the arms or reposition the tranny so that at full droop the tranny output flanges centerline is in line with the C/L of the hubs as you look at the car from the side.

The 2 red lines should be same distance back, or at least very close, from the TA's pivot centerline at full droop to minimize plunge . Sorry but you are in for a heap of trouble if you don't correct this now.

so the location of the tranz output shafts up and down does not matter? only the forward and back so the CVs line up at full droop...

thanks for the help

the pic that you put the red lines on, is a photo of the trailing are almost at full bump... I dont know if that detail changes anything

Doesn't matter it will be even worse at full droop. At full bump your hubs should be behind the output shaft centerline. No way around it your axles will not live with 10 inches of plunge. might as well step back,take a deep breath  and start redesigning it. Either the output shaft needs moved forward,the ta's need to be longer or IMO a combination of both.

Not only will the slip shafts not live with 10" of( I know it will only be maybe 6" or so most of the time)rapid and continuos cycling the cv's misalignment angle will be used up quicker also limiting travel from max.

Yes it matters also but not as much. Ideally the hub and output shaft will be in alignment with each other at full droop and your plunge will then be at a minimum.
