Gearbox Packer Question

Post by GQAndrew »

With regards to the angle of the tailshaft.....


would adding one of the 12mm packers to drop the gearbox essentially create the same angle as having a lift of 12mm less???

If I put in 12mm packers and my problem is solved, will adding 10mm spring spacers make the packers redundant??

I would think yes and fu#k the front uni angles up big time
because of more lift and backwards angle on tranny from the packers

What sort of lift. Is it a SWB or what. What problem are you trying to get rid of.

yep, swb with vibration at about 40-50 kmh, after installing 2 inch lift.
Was going to get spring spacers in to raise another 10mm, but have vibration already, and was wondering if I put the packers in and get rid of the vibration, then is it going to make the packers redundant if i install the spring spacers, because they are close to the height of the packers

Packer won't fix the vibation, just stop your tail shaft rubbing on the crossmember, you need to look at the caster

Putting a small amount of packers in your shorty shouldnt cause many problems with the front shaft. As you lift over all is relativly small. Just have a look at the front shaft angle of some of the LWB's with 7" lifts, a couple of packers in a 60mm lifted shorty aint going to hurt it.
