t-case problems and axle wrap

Hey Guys I haven't posted in quite a while, but I have been working much and playing little.

first question is that I just swapped my auto for the getrag and have driven it for about 2 months now, and found that my t-case output for the front drive shaft is extremly wobbly so I know I am going to have to rebuild it, my question is where is the best place to get parts and a rebuild manual

second question is that now when i first start out forward or reverse my rear axle twists down or up according with the torque, am I going to need new spring, and are the auto and five speed rear springs different

thanks
Jesse

IDK about the NP205 parts, but as far as the springs are concerned, I'd go with a custom built set for your mods. Once the torque gets up over 500ft/lb or so, it will never pull right, especially with the blocks. Maybe even some sort of traction bars if you expect to beat on it or tow with it. I doubt if I'm past 3-600/hp-tq and did not like the way my rear started behaving in that respect with the Skyjacker 6" rear springs and no blocks.

The springs torque even when I have no trailer on the truck, and I really didn't notice it till i swapped the trannys, although I know my converter was crap, guess I am just going to have to save up for new springs
