Good Man! =D>

:D you are fine putting a 2 lift on truck without changing the prop its when you change the raduse arms this is what starts putting the angles all on the pixx as long as you take precaution in your driving methods the only mods you would have to do would be your brake lines but just remember that you are raising your centre of gravity with a 2 inch lift and this is detremental to the way the vehicle handles on and off road regards colin :D
evang:
Some LR's have no problems or vibs you can live with, with 2 inch lifts.
But my advice if unlucky and you do. Then cheapest method:-
For Propshaft Vibs and pulsing and the transfere box and front diff are o.k
First Step Check your springs. Determine your lift height. Level your vehicle if required. My 300tdi was 2.5 inches out front lower then the rear due to wieght of winch and other bits. The front only had over 1.25 inch lift. Fitted 1 inch wizard spacers ( still waiting for reply from Scorpion on springs). If I had sussed this out 1st and levelled the vehicle I my have not need the other bits.
Still having Propshaft Vibs and pulsing and/or tram lining /vague steering
2nd step fit castor correction arms
Still not happy after extensive road tests. Some have vibs on over run at 70mph.
3rd step Disco 2 DC Prop + flange and propshaft spacer(made by wizard).
Possibly the utlimate set up with a 2 inch lift is castor correction arms + a Disco 2 DC Prop this hopefully give's peace of mind and a empty wallet!!!! but this seems to only be required by us unluckly ones as some disco's and LR's have no problems. It depends if your a fussy bXXXXX like me or can live with the vibrations or tram lining in the steering
Cheers Lads

........and designed by Budgie!! :mrgreen:
Have you got it fitted yet?
evang:
Sorry Propshaft spacers 'well designed and tested' by Budgie.
The spacer has been tried on the bench on both a propshaft and output shaft and fits nice, but had to drill the bolt holes out a bit. It is made of Aluminuim.
Not had a chance to fit as gone back to work
Budgie from your photos the angle of my front prop u/j looks the same as yours and depending on road surface my Disco runs overall pretty smooth. Thanks for the info on suspension hieghts and the prop spacers.
