SOA Build Anti Wrap Crossmember Help Needed!

Good people of the Jeep Forum - Help me please! My project is a a standstill.

I am now fabbing up the Crossmember for my Anti-Wrap Bar. (And fixing all the PO's mistakes).

What I need to know specifically is how far back can I put the Crossmember under the Transfer case. I have no knowledge of drive line articulation. Right now in the pics (the crossmember is just sitting on jackstands) its under the tail shaft collar thingy. Can I go all the way to the Yoke? (Is that what you call the part that the U Joint attaches to?)

Also how much clearance do I need between the Crossmember and the Transfer case? It's not like the TC is going to move, but the driveshaft is.

The one pic where the drive shaft looks at a sever angle...that is just the driveshaft disconnected from the rear end and hanging down as far as it can go to give some idea of fully extended suspenseion

Sorry for the big pics, I don't know how to make them smaller

Thanks everyone!

judging by your pics it looks like everything should clear. you show a pic of you DS disconnected and hanging which is far steeper than itll crop during articulation.

i say tack it in and do a bunch of flexing to see how everything is then burn it in
