what do people do for tail shafts on 3"+ lifted 75's
half way thru coiling the middy and put the tail shaft on today to find out it can go down 5mm more than at ride hight before binding up :x .

so what do the SOA guys do? double cardin or .....?

have not had a problem. just turned front shaft backwards so the fat bit does not hit the cross member. it's on a hzj75 about 3-4 inch lift with longer springs to get the front axle to sit in the standard position so the shock doesn't rub on the mount.
