Title: Rear diff mount with 2" lift?
Post by: trevorsride on February 17, 2009, 07:10:59 PM

Do I need to worry about puting a spacer on top of the rear diif with a 2" spacer lift? Will there be driveline vibrations without it? I found a company that will make just the spacer.

You do not "need" the spacer and all will work fine without it. Some guys like them to give a little less bind and more articultion. By the way I make the spacers as well.  ;) They fit the 98 and older

The reason I built my 3" diff spacer was to get the rear brakes working right,
without it the LSPV won't give enough pressure to the rear brakes, not good.

As a byproduct I got an RTI of 859 which sure don't suck either.

There are three reasons for the spacer.
If your shocks allow the rear to drop more than 2" further than stock travel then you risk the balljoint binding. You really don't want it to break.
As Wild has said, if you have the LSPV then you need to correct for the lift to ensure that the brakes work correctly.
The spacer restores the angle of the upper arm which helps reduce axle tramp.

Sounds like its probably a good idea then. I will get it ordered from Jeff, when I get the cash. Thanks for the input!!
