Rear diff spacer measurments needed
« on: April 06, 2005, 11:04:38 AM »
My diff spacer is failing.  I need to get the specs to a machine shop and get new plates cut ASAP.  

Can anyone point me to the measurments,   I recall that some one had them on a site exact with pics.  Can't seem to find it now.  

                                 Thanks,
                                        Michael

that might work,depends if you extended your wheel base or not.i built my own and was going to start selling them but did not have enough replies. i think you were the only one at the time that wanted one of mine.

What does the diff spacer do aside from raising the diff end of the upper Y arm? is it only helpful with certain amounts of lift?

For me i corrected the rear brake
proportioning valve so the rear brakes
worked like normal, it also keeps
the balljoint alive under extreme flex

Wildgoody,
               I noticed you built an offset into your spacer.
Is that to correct the pinion angle?

It actually does a few of things
1. it does correct the  U-joint angle
on the diff side
2. it moves the axle housing rearward
about an inch, which gets 33s in there
with no rubbing
3. it helps to push the slip yoke back
into the transfer case, not all the way
but it helps some

huh, i've got a extra flage welded onto the 3rd member flage to give it an extra 1/4inch.  mabey a few spare flages and you could build your own drive shaft spacer.

i would not recomend doing that the spacer has to be exact and balanced otherwuse you run a high chance of getting  a wabble in the drive line wich will mess mup somthing in eughter in your t-case or third member.

That would be a waste of flanges IMHO. Might as well spend the $30-$40 for a machined alloy unit.

Of course, if you have access to a lathe, just make your own:
