A few weeks ago i was mudding and bottomed out my front drive shaft. It broke alot of stuff. It broke my drive shaft cv joint a grade 8 bellhousing bolt t-case and my trans case. I am going to take some pics and post them.

Sounds like someone didn't make their drive shaft short enough.
(This from a guy who made his front just a hair short...;))

My bother has done that to his Chev like 3 times. What a stupid front end design. Torsion bars, low corssmembers, and an alumn 3rd member... ugh.
There is an iron version from a certain truck - my bro put that in after he smoked 2 of those crappy things.

this is in a 1986 chevy with a dana 60 front 400 turbo 208 and 14" of lift

That's almost the same setup I run, but guess I haven't done that one yet...I hope not....

you could always make a driveshaft out of square tubing then it would have more slide

I had that same problem with my old truck, I solved it by going to a 2 wheel tranny and a remote t-case.

i think it might be down to that but i dont want to loose my low range
