Default 4" rancho lift ?

Hope to finish up installing my lift tonight after a few trying evenings this week. When I measure output shaft slip joint pull out it is right at 1.5". So I am trying to decide to install the included driveshaft spacer as it is recommended for >1.5". Just wondering if others installed it or not with their 4" lift? Thanks for any feedback.

It won't hurt to install it only takes a few minutes and you'll know you won't have issues and have to go back to do it later.

I agree. Do me a favor if you could and take a pic from the side looking under the truck specifically where the driveshaft and rear diff meet at the pinion. I'm interested to see the angle the differential pumpkin is at. Thanks

Looks great! I would def get that spacer in there it will fix your pull out.

If you can could you try to get another pic of the rear diff and driveshaft angle looking from the side. Basically straight on from the side so I can see how the differential is angled and mates up to driveshaft. Thanks

Thanks my friend. Let's see now if that changes once the spacer is installed. Angle looks good though. Do you notice any vibrations or shudders driving the way it is now?
