Lifting my SII

[CDesPlanques <adesp@domain.elided>]

Since I have an extra $500 bucks laying around :) I was thinking about
lifting my SII, I was crawling around underneath and doing some
measuring...Those of you who have lifted your 100" scouts, what kind of
u-joint angles are you running?  From my calculations (using
sine,cosine,tangent etc.) It looks like the joints will be running at 18
degrees with a 4-inch lift (15 with a 2.5").  Are these calcs off the
wall or do you guys with 4-inch lifts replace your u-joints alot? (I
have some lifetime warranty AutoZone U-joints, so the cost isn't a
factor, but as much fun as it is I don't like replacing u-joints
alot...)  This is my daily driver/weekend warrior so downtime is a
minus.  I'd run a CV joint at the top but I'd like to avoid it if
possible 'cause CV's are tougher to fix if they break on a mountain
top...
