Hey guys, i just got done installing a 4.5 lift kit , this is what im nervous about? When i was installing the rear leaf spring packs i found my oem shackles were actually rusted in half and destroyed, i ordered 3/4 shakles from rustys, while i was waiting on them to arive i gave tom wood driveshafts my length and info so they can build me a driveshaft. Im worried that the measurement i gave them was wrong because 3 days after i ordered my shaft i put my new shackles on. am i going to run into a problem if my rear end is 3/4 inch higher ??? I hope not. Iv been down without my truck for 6 weeks. Sorry im a idiot, lol i didnt think about what i was doing.

 

i dont think it will hurt anything. if you still have vibes after the SYE you can install shims.

 

well im just nervous about doing something to the boot or the shaft. If i raise the rear end 3/4 inch will that bring the pinion closer or away from SYE? with the truck on the ground?

 

is it supposed raise 3/4 or are they just 3/4 longer than stock

ether way you wont see more than 1/4 difference in length for your DS

 

the drive shaft extends alot

 

shouldnt hurt a dang thing. as long as you measured the driveshaft right when you ordered it, you'll be fine
