As you can see it's not even close. Everyone said that the front axles are fine for a 4 inch lift. Maybe the 68 GMC K20s are different, possibly because it had a very heavy V6 in it stock which made it ride lower??


What do I do? Grind some relief into the yoke parts? Find a different driveline from a later model?
try turning the shaft around, slip yoke towards differential, may help, or you may have to go with the cv joint style , that shaft looks bigger in diameter compared to most ive seen on the front
