What thickness do you guys use for your driveshafts? 1/4" or 3/16" ?

**RangerSVT** · 08-21-2012, 12:44 PM

Stock shafts are around 0.065, most run with .120 wall dom...

Okay, wasnt sure HOW insanely thick people run them. Thanks dude.

I build mine from schedule 80. I have twisted two .120 DOM shafts I built.

^ Thanks, I'll check it out.

So I found out that my suspension was binding. One beam needed to be in the upper bolt hole on the drop brackets and the other beam needed to be on the bottom bolt hole. This is the only way that the bolt holes would be at the same height. Has anybody else run into this problem?

yes...been well documented in other threads....

as for why, don't know.....

l8r, John

**brinker88** · 08-21-2012, 07:44 PM

Ah, okay. Must have missed that. I didnt see that in the tech library (where I do most of my research). I'll have to add that to my writeup.

Thanks.

Which beam in which hole? I have a feeling I'll be running into this in the near future...

**brinker88** · 08-22-2012, 07:23 AM

+1 ive read it when researching mine initially.

Mine would have been pass side in bottom hole and drivers in top if I had kept my 6" springs and had 6" drops.
With the 6" springs prior to cut, the drivers side was still easily alignable. As for the pass side... Yea right
