BDS 5" Envoy lift

Im not 100% sure yet, i did a lot of calling around and found a drive line shop near buy that helped, what the dude came up with is a Combination
U- Joint # 2-1153, so he explained that i have a Saginaw s/44 drive shaft end 2-3011 and a spicer 1350 pinion yoke, so thats how he came up with the 2-1153 combination U-Joint, now some of the earlier zr-2's dont have this problem and its a straight swap.... the rear i purchased i think is a 2003 rear... im also trying to see if i can get a different pinion yoke and not have to bother with the combination joint..
notice how the horizontal cups have a groove, and the vertical does not, also the horizontal cups are 1-1/8" and the vertical cups are 1-3/16" thats the pinion side

for those interested, i found a place called Madisonpowersystems.com in Michigan, they will custom make a set of parking brake cables for me, whatever length i need, for $69. each, more than i want to spend, but it will be right and safe,and pass inspection..

good finds on both parts. now comes the details of the lift being actually used...oh the fun.
looks like your off to a better start then i was. sounds like you should have it under control soon.

picked up the 2-1153 u joint today, tightened up some bolts, and i do have some slop in the rear u joint, so i will replace asap, im working all weekend at my job, so i will get it done possibly Monday when i get home.
Also i gave the T-Bars 3 more turns, the front is only 1-1/2" lower than the front, and the front CV's are just starting to get some angle in them, so i will just redrill my 3leaf shackles and that should level it out.. untill later
