3" lift
muddy eveitt:
hello guys if i was to put my 3" springs on would i have to change my prop shafs or will standed ones be ok and what other things would i need to do ??
V8MoneyPit:
If you have longer rebound travel from your shocks, you need to check the UJ's don't bind at full travel.
The shock absorbers define the rebound travel and the bump stops (or springs) define the bump travel. If you still have standard shocks, the travel won't have changed. The static ride height is just moved to a different place in the travel when lift springs are fitted.

im havin 5+ dampers on the bk with my 3" springs and 2+ dampers on the front with me 3" springs apart from bump stops would i hav to do ne thing more ??
V8MoneyPit:
I suspect you will need wide angle propshafts. All you can do is sit the chassis on stands, drop the axle to full rebound and check the shaft rotation.
You are highly unlikely to get to the situation where both wheels are at full rebound, unless you take off, but it makes sure the worst case is covered.
