I dunno about that, as much as a new drive shaft... It looks like it's about to fall out of the rear end of the trans there.... Doesn't look good IMO.

is there a trick with inserting them in the post when they are on yahoo??

 

[jeffseal]

yes they are 33's

I was planning on redoing the soa without the add a leaf this weekend but we just got a good 6 inches of snow and it is still comming down. Hopefully the driveshaft will be okay when i take the aal out. It was fine today and i had the RPMs way up there when my tires where spinning in the snow.

Man, i'd be really really careful when it went to flexing, i'd be afraid to list some stuff that it could possible tear up

Happy trails!!

I was thinking that with out the transfer case, that the tail shaft would be farther from the rearend on a two wheel drive, causing your drive shaft problem, I may be wrong, I like the idea of the long wheel base ranger shaft, get that yoke back up in there, lowering the back a little might help, but it looks like yours is hanging by a thread. As for the snow, I have 4 drivers stuck on I-40 at the 157 mile marker, they have been there almost twelve hours now!! Too many accidents, They counted over 15 tracter trailers jack knifed!!

fix the driveshaft now.... or start looking for a new truck once that falls out crusing down the highway at 70mph and you go flipping end over end. it should definatly not look like that. taking the all out isnt goona do anything to help that you need a new shaft

What are the specs on those shocks (front and rear). I am in the process of performing the installation on this lift and I am going to need extended shocks (i think).

Thanks...

 

[jeffseal]

they are both stock length. i did the soa in the rear and used the super lift bracket so it also moved the shock mount up so you can use stock length shocks. the front are also stock. I have spindles up front so the A arms are in the same position. Mine is 2wd so you will need longer shocks up front if you are 4x4. if you are 2wd and want to do this lift and waite a few weeks ill sell ya my front end. i am going sas with 4x4

as soon as you get those spindles out i will by them from you. How long you had them? How much did you pay for them? What do you want for them? How soon are you going to SFA?

 

[jeffseal]

I have had them less than a year, they give you 3" of lift plus your tosion twist. I have about 5-5.5 up front total. Ill have to check there is already a line of people that want them, I am not sure the fairest way to do it, either the first person who saw the forsale add, or ebay style.

I am hoping to do the SAS next week but ran into a little problem yesterday, I drove 3 hours to knox to pick up my axle, I had to pull it from a jeep, after 2 hours in 6" deep quicksand mud I got the axle out, But it was to heavy to lug down the hill 50 yards away to my car and the forklift couldnt get to it becuase of the mud. Hopefully it will dry up a little so they can get to it in a forklift. :-(
