Drive Shaft length

How do you tell if you need a new shaft after you lift your rig? There must be some sort of measurement you can make...

Re: Drive Shaft length

When it no longer reaches both yokes with 3"-4" of movement, basically if you have to extend the driveline all the way out to make it fit you need a longer shaft.
