Context:

The reason the shaft is needed is operating angles...

Once a joint is moved a certain amount the operating angles change and the uni-joints can bind.

If you add travel, you change the operating angle... If you lift it, you change the static operating angle...

If it travels further than the std joint is designed - it will bind up and load the joints along with the items they attach to (TC and Diff Pinion) and do damage.

The Tdci is more susceptible at lower lifts etc (compared to earlier models) due to the alignment with the 6 speed box.

The extra travel will kill the joints even with no lift when used to capacity.

Bilstein 7100 got a good rap here, what about Bilstein B6 Offroad
Are both available for for a Puma 110 ?
How do they compare ?

A little bit more travel would be nice, but i will probably go for the 130 springs and try and keep the height standard.,
