Thanks for the chain advice!

We used pillow blocks mounted to the bottom side of some 1 x 3 tubing in an effort to increase our ground clearance. The drive shafts ran through this on one side, and some 1/8" side plate on the other. The pillow blocks didnt work in our favour by acting as a pivot point for our shaft since our sideplates were held in by 8 rivets... In the future we are looking to put the shaft directly through both faces of the tube. In this manner the shaft will not be able to tilt even the slightest. Please feel free to give me any more advice you may have.

Sincerely,
Xifilzer
