Jibs Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Who's running an ea82 2 piece driveline in their lifted rigs? I've heard bad things about getting vibration when the driveline is not set at the correct angle and was told a 1 piece would be better. I'd like to get a 2 piece though so I'd be able to get it up and out of the way. Pros Cons? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northguy Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Welding up the carrier bearing is the hitch. In a Brat, there isn't enough stout metal to weld to. I'm running the 1 piece, and have had no trouble. But then again, you may be running places I don't want to take my Brat (yet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qman Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 I have done it both ways. My hatch had a two piece. I had it made with larger diameter tubing for the back half and servicable u-joint as well. Matt is right about it being a little difficult to weld the mount for the carrier bearing but it is doable. It does get it out of the way but not by that much.

Jibs Posted June 4, 2006 Author Share Posted June 4, 2006 What a friend was going to do is weld a piece of 3/16" steel 36"Lx8"W to the undersiude of the Brat then mount the carrier bearing to that. That would work right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstaru Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 you know i just made brackets ,and bolted it to the tunnel.i also flipped the carrier bearing upside down.that gave me a tad more clearance there as well.i have driven it alot ,even road trips with 70+ on the freeway for long distances....and have had no problems.very little vibration at all.i just centered it in the tunnel with the simple design of the brackets.
