With my diff forward and inch I havn't had any problems with my front drive shaft at all yet, it does juuuuust slip out the yoke when jacked up with both front wheels off the ground but nothing a small tailshaft spacer cannot fix.

I think 'handling' is another big factor in this one though? (excluding the brake dive of course)
approach angle- debatable as a good suspension with standard shackles is pretty good
In spoa maybe, i personally dont think spua allows for the fitment of large enough tyres to give a 'good' approach angle. (our opinions may differ on what "good" is though)
not to forget that they bind up uni yokes and spit out slip joints.
:? i understand the axle moving foward on droop requiring a long slip joint, but dont understand how it binds up unis?
SPUA , 33,s !!

+ I also had a hilux tailshaft fitted in the front , for the longer slip joint !!!
Never ever had any uni problems though !! :D
