3" to lay frame but the driveshaft is...

I'm hitting the stock crossmember which I can cut out more if I have to but I've seen other trucks with it still there,I used a 2x2" square tube for the upper link bars and the driveshaft is hitting there too I have 3 1/4" till I hit the bed so can raise the c-member an 1 1/4" but I wanna know if Its hitting for some other reason,like should I have changed the pinion angle for clearance or is there something else cause I dont know how much the driveshaft is gonna raise with 3" more drop cuz if its too much more then it'll be hitting the cab

I know I have to replace the tranny c member....I have it I just havent done it yet

the only way to adjust the pinion angle is to remove all the link tabs!which means I'll probably have to scrap em and get new ones..that would suck and I cant raise that c-member 2" It will stick through the bed only an 1 1/4" If this truck keeps it up I just might tear up bed floor and put a d-shaft tunnel in

thats usually the case if you want a truck to lay flat. especially with a 1 piece d-shaft.

I know..but there is alot of other trucks just like mine done without having to cut out the bed floor for the link c-member and without tunneling the cab..I dont know whats different about there setup then outside of turning the pumpkin down or changing tire size
