Hi all,
I'll be fitting a stage 1 front diff which is tilted up to the transfer case.
Question is - is it ok to run a standard UJ propshaft with this ?
I know it will be no good for high speed driving, but will it be ok for low range work ? ie - up to 60kph. I have FWHs so I'm not fussed about highway driving.
Thanks

stage 1 diff / no dc joint

I have a stage 1 axle in the front of my IIA, and the stock IIA drive shaft.
I have never had vibration problems, even when it was my DD with a petrol and an OD, and I used to sit at 100-110 on the highway.

I'm surprised to hear this, my rear diff angle is at most a few degrees out and i have massive vibration at over 90kph. (when you talk while doing over 100k it sounds like some one is thumping on your chest, Tarzan style)
My current front is out more, and is a major PITA at over 80kph. This is why i love FWH.
This is all because I have a bodgy CRS holden conversion. The engine mount brackets make the whole drivetrain tilt down, front to rear. I'll be fitting wedges on the rear diff mounts to fix this, but its not an option on the front.
** am i right in assuming that the stage 1 front diff pinion angle is in line with the prop shaft ???
Yes, or close to. When I fitted it I thought I might have vibration problems, and was pleasantly surprised when I didn't.popeye wrote: ** am i right in assuming that the stage 1 front diff pinion angle is in line with the prop shaft ???
I installed the UJs are out of phase (if I remember correctly), which may have made a difference. At 100km my truck is noisy (moreso than my dad's 88"), but has very little vibration.
