OK my truck is SPOA, and has a 25mm spacer on the rear tailshaft... Without it, there is not enough spline length for the shaft.

Not saying this is the problem, but for approx $30, you can improve the situation with a spacer...

im going to rebuild the t-case first because it does need the seals replacing. after that if itss till happening i will get the rear shaft extended because i do need to get my front shaft extened.
how much movement should the shaft have when sitting at ride height? i am guessing non?
because the shaft doesnt have a spacer i dont even know if has been extended as i got the car with the SPOA in it. i would like to know the lengh of a stock shaft.

Another thing you could do is put it up on a hoist (one that lifts the chassis not wheels on ramps), then get someone to get in and drive it while on hoist and get it to vibrate, then you can visually inspect what is going on.

2 spacers (one for the front and back) will work out cheaper and easier than getting one extended, but it is your call...

Check out locktup 4x4 for spacers...

The shaft should have bugger all movement - maybe 3-4mm tops.

its probaby has less then 3mm.
the front need to be extened as i got RUF aswell so lot of droop and the front uni will bind. still deciding on wha to do. i think i will go with an extened slip yoke to be safer to get me more contact when the suspention is droped.
no shure on rear yet but i will see after the tcase rebuild
