Ideas?
I have seen that there are different options for the drop of the crossmembers available 0", 3", and 6". Anyone know how to determine the best and/or right way to get that number?

The drop in the cross member is determined by the angle if the universal joints. The center line through the universal joints need to be parallel within 2degrees { the closer the better} or you will have vibration problems.
At the risk of getting over complicated on a complicated issue.
