The length of the shaft on the yoke is approx. 145mm of which the first 50 mm beyond the yoke is plain. Then there is 90mm of machined spline plus another 5mm or so where the end of the yoke shaft is "rounded off". The depth of the receiving section of the drive shaft from the bottom to the top of the internal spline section is about 140mm, then there's about 40mm of non-splined section to the top of the shaft... if that makes sense:eek:
Would be worried about front drive shaft especially when I have lift kit already stretching it out a little!!Quote:

Yeah. Not actually measured the length of the spline shaft showing in high height. Plan to do so. Would be good to know the engagement length at that height.
Perhaps also when the drivers side rear is pushed right up and the passenger side off the ground. Suspect this might be further down at the diff than the high setting. And thats a case where there is likely to be reasonable torque because you're probably climbing something.Quote:

I'll try the extreme articulation, and work out how much spline engagement there is.
I'll definitely be keen to hear. If I end up up getting round to fitting the bits I've already done lots of preparations for many a month ago :)
Would a 10mm spacer on the diff and of the tailshaft work? I believe Tom Woods makes them.
You could probably have one made up easy enough! A 10mm steel plate, plasma cut and drilled would do the trick.
Benji, are you talking about this spacer in addition to radius arm spacers or without?Quote:
