you will need the slip joint above the cross member or it will hit.

you pic looks to be a shorty,

if so you will need to adjust pinion angle to cancel out vibrations, so either longer lower links, or adjustable upper, its uo you you which way you go, but there is more adjustment in adjustable upper,

we have just been through this in a shorty,

Thanks for your reply, it's definitely a LWB so does anyone know if the same applies as ozy1 has stated for a swb? The vibration is coming from that area.

So if your question is do I need to turn tailshaft to clear crossmember on drop then yes with nearly any aftermarket longer shock.

If its a question re vibration then that may also come just from the lift. A few reasons but main one is the uni bearings running thru a larger arc . Try giving a GOOD grease job.
