So the driveline angle and the height of the transmission is causing a big issue with the standard two piece driveshaft mount as the trans is lined up with the top of the porterbuilt trailing arm support.

We are most likely going to have to tunnel the cab and we decided that if we are going that far we might as well eliminate the two piece driveshaft. Going to modify the cross member support. Porterbuilt has a nice one but it is pricey and is 2 months out if you do order one.

I will show pictures as we modify it to remove the top bar of the cross member. More to come on that in the near future.
