Ok its on!!! The only thing I can see that might be bad, is the weight on the DS just barely hits/rubs the UMI tunnel mount TA DS loop when the rear suspension is fully suspended. Seem ok with the suspension loaded. Time for a test drive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seems fine! It didnt hit and I tried, Had the car over speed bumps hwy speeds 120mph.lol! Off/on ramps crappy roads, banked parking lots and driveways and seems to clear fine.

BTW I put an Alum LS1 DS on my 96 LT1 and it makes a worl of difference!!!! I would recomend this to any one with an LT1. That or buy an aftermarket shaft.
