Hilux 2.8 front drive shaft is to short?

Post by $$Clarkson$$ »

Hey everybody so I just fitted some standard rear leafs up the front of my Hilux with 2inch extended shackles, on full flex it drops out of the spline :( I've already got a 40mm spacer fitted too, what can I do about this? Got a quote of $400 to get a longer one made up but don't wanna fork out that much just yet. Is there any other shafts off different 4wds that might fit? Love to hear everyone's thoughts an ideas and what they've done to overcome this problem.
