tailshaft spacers?

Post by **waandy** » Mon Jun 22, 2009 5:35 pm

after lifting my shorty 4 inches iv noticed the slip joint has slid quite abit out, is it possible to put a 20mm spacer on the back of the handbrake drum to prevent any damage occuring?
another problem is iv lengthend my lower arms 18mm and run 24mm gearbox x member and im still getting the same noise, only noticible really with 31s as it revs harder. any ideas? what dimensions are you guys running?

ive got 7'' spring lift in my wagon and i dropped the gearbox down 10mm and thats all .but it would probly better to put a spacer on the diff end as all u would have to do on that end is buy longer bolts or cut your tailshaft and weld a bit in and get it balanced

don't cut and shut the shaft.

Have you checked how much spline you have engaged?

I run a 15mm spacer in my front shaft, no issues

i wouldnt cut the shaft.
i just thought because of having such a large lift and extended lower arms (18mm) contact area might be on the small side, dont want a shaft to let go anyrime soon. rather make a spacer at work, then know im safe

I made it, but you could get most engineering place to make you one for about $100
