I am currently changing my springs on my 91 WT to RUF and Mazda 323 rears. Will I need driveline spacers front and rear? I know there are plenty of threads about these mods, i'm just not sure about spacers. Cheers Dan

Where are you putting the diffs?
Front..
Standard location in front on rears u may need one. If you redrill back to stock position with stock fronts,You probably wont need one.
Rear.. you will need to redrill anyway. need more info

Rear diff is an inch further back, front diff will be an inch forward.

I moved my front diff and inch forward recently and the shaft only just falls out when jacked up with the front tyres off the ground. I already have a 1 inch spacer to compensate for the lift but I will be putting another 3/4inch spacer in. Do the spring swap first then flex it to the bump stops on the pumpkin side and then disconnect your driveshaft from the diff and see how much you can push the spline of the shaft towards the transfer. If there is an inch room then use a 3/4inch spacer.
