49 Ass draggers

I lowerd my 49 F1 in the back about 12 inches and left the front stock. I tried to line everything up and it drives ok and looks good and have taken it to a couple shows but keep breaking u-joints? Suggestions

 

bring extra U-joints everywhere you go.

 

Suggestions?
Either lower the front at least 10 inches or raise the rear at least 10 inches.
Oh you meant suggestions on your driveline issues?
How is your pinion angle?

Looks ok. Doenst seem like it binds any where. First time lowering besides cutting the springs in my fifty and using lowering blocks.

Took out a couple springs, and put the springs under the axle.

All stock.. Flat head v8. Never thought about the shaft being too short. I drove it about 60 miles to the last show and thought its was good to go and then on my way back it broke again.

 

Posting pictures of the situation might help people see something you're missing. Also curious to see a truck that's 12 inches lower in the rear

 

I'll take some pics this weekend and put them out there. There is a pic of the truck behind me in one of my pics but I'll get you a side veiw.

 

If the drive shaft is too short it will make a hell of a noise when it bottoms out on the tailshaft..

 

No noise.... I was just reading about useing shives to hold everthing in place?
