If it sucks air witha full tank you might have a crook pickup in the tank that is moving around when you point the nose in the air take the pickup out of the tank and inspect it for fatigue cracks etc.

Or drive the other way and only go down hill :lol:

I heard off a driveshaft dude that if your shaft is too long, this is heaps worse as it can screw up your transfer case when the shaft bottoms out? Is this true? Can anyone confirm? If the shaft binds on compression something has to give and ...

Dave the plates from Snake racing do what you did with your springperch without redrilling you only have to drill the bottom plate.

Ok so if I move the diff foward how do I go about it and I guess I would have to extend the front prop shaft. What about Shock mounts steering etc. By how much should I move it foward.
I take it your middy is just running the lifts and has not had the diff moved foward
