2" spring lift - Drive shaft spacer???

Post by ado250 »

Hi all,

Bought a near new set of 2" lift springs for the zook. Been told that I should go a drive axle spacer as the splines (Transfer input) might shear off with the slight extension needed because of the 2 inch lift.

I've only heard of spacers being used on sprung over vehicles. Should I go the spacer anyway or not required? Am I right in thinking it's just a plate with the holes in it for tail shaft bolts? About 20mm?

Also, am I going to have camber issues with my tyres or is it also not a concern?

Cheers mate, didn't think so. Will have to think about it when going SPOA in the future though :D

When the work gives me the company car and I can afford to keep the zook as a toy :D :D :D

Got a 3" lift in mine and nothings ever gone wrong!

Maybe his one of those guys who wants every thing perfect! But buy the sounds he has a nice zook and has the money to do things that will make it harder for something to go wrong!

Got any pics of his car?

No, should have taken a couple though (after all, have one of these new ricer phones with the camera :roll: ). Stainless toll bars, stainless snorkle (home made). I loved it. Body was a bit rough in spots, but apparently had plans to smick it up. It has inspired me to fabing some bits and pieces for the rig :twisted:

Professional mechanic though, labour comes cheap ;)
