Is a drive shaft tunnel from the back cab wall to a bout half way in the cab necessary so the drive shaft wont hit the bottom of the cab. it seems mine needs it but totally not sure, i guess it's obvious.is this a popular problem or what?

I guess you are asking how far up you need to make the drive shaft tunnel

I would just trim a little at a time, and leave a couple inches incase you decide to go with bigger wheels.

its probably because ex cabs and longbeds have a 2 part shaft. and some guys have shorter tires, so it doesnt go as high into the truck. or they're like a guy i worked with and they know it hits but dont drive laid out. because it spins against the sheetmetal. his was an s10 not bodied on 18s an 20s.

there is a cab x member thats right there above the drive shaft at the rear of the cab that has to be notched and i usually rehoop it under the d/s that should be good for an 18" if you have a 20" then theres a lil extra bracing on the underside floor where if you notch it then you'll clear a 20" w'o coming thru the floor unless you have a big bodydrop
