Then it would hit the crossmember when down.
After looking at it all closely for a matter of time, I realized the only option was to get a smaller diameter shaft. Since mine was hitting on two different things on two sides, notching out the crossmember wasn't going to solve my problems.

I see. Yes, I spent some time under there last night and only see contact on the tranny pan. It seems that it would hit the exhaust before the crossmember. It also seems that it JUST BARELY touched the tranny.
Oh well, it's at the dealership now for my dashboard light show (i suspect bad wheel sensor causing ESP and ABS to go nuts) and I mentioned "hey, my boot is gone on front DS" so we'll see if they're just laughing at me or what.
I'll plan on a new driveshaft at some point. I don't like the idea of this one getting dented up and failing on me which in turn causes my tcase to get grenaded! My only concern about a new DS is that if the Tcase fails ever, will they claim it failed BECAUSE of the driveshaft!!!

Thanks! I contemplated using the Rock Hard padding kit buy IMO it doesn't match the factory padding. And after I got everything installed, I even decided to not put the factory padding back on the 2 OEM bars that go from the B-pillar to the windshield. My Jeep is up to high and everyone uses the bar to get in so when I removed the factory padding, the foam underneath was all broken away from its mounting points anyway.
