Propshaft angles?

[Jordi]

Ok. The springs are supposed to be +1.5". But because the rear prop is so short it doesnt look happy.

Your thought and photos of yours too if you run a lift kit. The extension doesnt bother me as i'll just make it longer. Its the angle.

can you not loosen the axle of the springs, and point it up a little more? That way you will reduce your angle, and use a little less length of the prop shaft. I don't know, just a thought

Axle has welded saddles that sit against the spring with locators to position it. Cant just rotate it.

Looks ok to me. Think about all the people running spoa with stock props. You could always run a later sj410 prop, they have more clearance in the UJs and are around 1" longer

Yeah. That had crossed my mind scottie those with spoa and prop spacers too. Just to increase angle even more, lol.

Im gona run it as is for now. So long as its usable i'm happy right now. I'll be taking it for a spin round the block tomorrow and through a few fields just to flex it up so i can ensure springs are all torqued up right and check for noises.

I've never lifted a zuk before so never had to look as prop angles and lengths.

More trial and error, lol.

Cheers bud.
