rear drive shaft on swb safari question

[coxsy]

added +16mm lower arms plus 3'' lift what you think of drive shaft extention

[Trundle]

I usall run a spacer or custom make a dual cardon rear shaft

[coxsy]

$1300 rebuilt unit, spacer no problem to get.

[Trundle]

I thought you were asking the question ? 1300 dollars for a drive shaft ?

[coxsy]

yes, new splines, ujoints
just checking other people ideas is all
don't propose I know everything

[Nizzanman]

Is it normal to need to lengthen the drive shaft when going to a 3inch lift?

Is it normal to need to lengthen the drive shaft when going to a 3inch lift?

No I had 5 inch lift, +16 mm longer control arms, shortened top arms. No gearbox spacers. Caster plates. With bugger all drive line vibrations. Each vehicle seem to be different though.

3" lift on a LWB here (+2" body)... no vibrations, no gearbox spacers, no driveshaft extn

[Trundle]

The lwb dont seem to be to bad but in my opinion its common to see issues on 3" and up if they get driven hard ,

very odd how all swb are different, friday i replaced both rear uj's on my bush truck for $112 but there was nothing wrong with them, i still have a vibe even with 10mm g/box spacers at around 90kms from the rear, i cant think of anything else so it must be tyres.....

coxsy i am glad you asked this as i was a little concerned about the amount my tail shaft was extended on my truck i am building up.. i was thinking a spacer too.

[coxsy]

Yes 12mm spacers ,spline gap still a bit longer than on a standard truck but driveline noise gone now so happy now hunt down oil leaks on this engine, oh my motto if in dough hit the lockers and stand one the gas
