hey yah problem here too but with the stock rear end. Driveshaft will turn a 1/4 inche too. If i jack up the rear the driveshaft turns a 1/4 inch then the tires will start moving. I will clunl too when put into reverse or drive, and i can feel it when it shifts 1-2.

Probably normal. When you turn the yoke back and fourth you're taking up space such as the backlash, space between side and spider gears, space in between the axle splines and side gears, etc.

A 1/4 INCH isn't anything to worry about. You probably have another problem. check your torque arm bushing, trans mount and tailshaft housing. This guy, the original poster, is saying he has a 1/4 TURN play in his yoke. That is not good. I hope he meant to say 1/4 inch.
