Jeff1997 makes and sells a diff spacer,  it goes between the rear diff and balljoint.  I have it and I'm at about 3500 miles, checked the bolts and they're tight.(with locktight)  Seems like it makes the rear flex better by taking some tension out of the ball joint.

I make a two inch suspension lift kit for sidekick and Trackers. I include the rear spacer in my kit but I will sell the spacer seperatly as well.

Here are a couple pictures of the suspension lift kit that I make, You can see the rear diff spacer in the pic

I was reading of the failure rate of the top diff mount on raised and flexed rides, so I removed the ball joint and replaced it with a more flexible fix.
This is my solution

Testing place

I ground the mounts for better clearance and replaced the missing nut and washer.  Fit and flex great, and it is adjustable.

how strong does this part of the linkage have to be to stand up to the stresses of articulation?

How long will the stock ball joint setup hold up?

Does the diff spacer restore the correct pinion/ driveline angles?

diff spacer and 1/2" prop spacer made all the difference to my ride; ran it with 2.5" spacer lift before, and noticibly better after diff spacer added

"Prop Spacer", Is that a driveline spacer? Better, but how so?
