Outer Limits 4x4 Board

i am possibly putting twin cases in my lux soon and just want to know if i will need a double cardon joint in the rear or not? it will have about 3" of lift and probly 2" drivetrain lift.
also can i still use my forward shifting case as the reduction section and use a top shifting case as the rear case? it has a w52 5 speed gearbox
cheers

You wont need a DC joint. Thats only realy something you need in a 4runner or short bed 1st gen.
You can use your T-case as the reduction.
I can get you a top shift case at the right price.

what sort of dollars you talkin ruff

$250 second hand.

i might have to take you up on that offer ruff. you gonna be home saturday so i can come pic it up?

also another question, will a rear shaft off a swb lux or 4 runner be the right length with the twin cases?

cheers

Some times when going to a one piece you will get away with no cardonal joint.

When I changed I tried it with no joint first and I had the vibs thing pritty bad. So I then put in a cardonal and all is sweet now

I should be home working on my junk.

Rear shaft needs to be custom. I tried a few others but non are the right length.

My T case was lifted 70mm due to how bent the Snake Racing crossmember was and i had no vibes without a DC joint but my diff is also back 1.5" not that i think that makes a real difference.

cool, could you pm me your address and ph number, should be down around sat lunch or arvo

If both flanges are at the same angle then you shouldn`t get any vibs. My rear diff has been rotated, so it is at a different angle to the flange on the T case.

yeah, should be able to get flanges equal when a do the rear 4 link in the next few weeks
