    It is possible that your pinion angle can be off and your drive shaft is too short!

    Rotation of the rear end would be my guess, are your bags in front or behind the center of your axles? If the rear rotates at all it will pull the shaft out of the trans unit, you need to install the 4 link to keep it from rotating.

    WHAT? :eek:
    And if you don't have a 4 link in, what do you have locating the rear end?

    How did you manage to setup and install bags without having a four link or your pinion angle set? whats centering or locating your rear?

    Somehow all this sounds very ****** to me, please don't stop, this is great. Perhaps putting the drive shaft back in and taking shorter strokes would help!:confused::rolleyes:

    sounds like a good comedy stunt, pull into a car show, drop the bags- and the drive shaft comes rolling out from under the car. forget pictures we need video.

    And he still never answered any questions about how it was installed, what was suspending the rear end etc.
    If you don't give pertinent information you can't expect reasonable answers, especially after being asked.
    You brought the smart *** answers upon yourself.
