1. Since one end is the rotoflex is it necessary to match angles in the rear like with regular U-joints. Would you not want it almost pointed at the T-case? (If not assume I am talking about a CV rear drive shaft)

2. Shorter trailing arms will rotate the pinion up but have obvious side effects. Any way to counter act the pinion effects of longer arms by putting spacers under the a frame or would that have no effect?

See what I am getting at?

Apparently not

Come on someone must have an idea if this will work or not.

PS I don't think it will but I am checking

Ron, I would think the rotation of the rotoflex unit needs the same geometry like the u joint shaft so your TC u joint and the roto flex end are rotating in a circle. Change the angle and the roto unit turns in that oblong circle. I would think any combo of rear link/a arm movement is ok as long as the proper u joint/roto/pinion angles are kept the same. Just surmising an answer. Did I answer your questiion?
