Re: Burb driveshaft too short after lift

I never used a transfer case lowering kit for a 6"lift.I agree with your friend,it makes the shorter front shaft even steeper. I also can't see how adding a 1" spacer will make that much difference in your rear driveshaft length. On my '72 K/20 I had to make the driveshaft approx. 2" longer. On my '91 3/4t Suburban with 4" lift I didn't have to do anything to the driveshafts. I have never had to do any driveshaft work on anything with a 4" lift. You just need to find the center of the movement cycle of your rear driveshaft and have it made longer.
