    Looking to go a bit higher than my 4" MaxTracs and 2" blocks in the rear. I'm looking at the OME's w/ 886's (All-pro front bumper) and Dakar's in the rear. My question is, will I need to get the extended rear brake lines if I go from 2" to 3-4", and will I need to address the driveshaft length? I already have the CB drop kit in.

    Thanks,

    Eric

    I would say yes to both. I'm at 5.5" in the rear & it took a 1.5" spacer to put my driveshaft back to where it belongs. At 3"-4" you wont need that big of a spacer. The higher you go the more it pulls out of the tranny & it could tear up the carrier bearing, with 2" its already pulled out a little bit.
    Driveshaft spacers.

    Not mine a pic I googled but mine was about this bad. The black part should be flush with the silver part.

    Got any pics of your current setup. That's what I am thinking about going with. 4" spindle 2" block stock wheels and spacers

    Maybe yes & yes.
    I have 5"'s of total lift. 4 from suspension/1 from tires.

    I was skeptical of the spacers but thanks to BORNWILDGUY, SpruceTaco, Ricks2013 & a few others who convinced me, I did it. I have 3/4" driveshaft spacer & Spidertrax wheel adapters for the rear only so they can match the frint wheels offset due to the spindles.

    I forgot who gave me this Brake line Bracket. Sorry.

    UPDATE: I removed the carrier bearing drop kit. It didn't do anything. I installed 2 of those kits & it caused 60-70 mph vibes. I have no CB drop & have take off vibe but it's only a bit so I'm not stressing it.

    So recently I spent around 600$ for new u-joins, carrier bearing, and transmission mount (didn't know I broke it lol). Any ways, so I also had bought a drive shaft spacer (1" spacer), but now my carrier bearing is always coming out of its rubber! I am constantly adjusting it to find a happy medium and I cant. Anyone else with a drive-shaft spacer have this problem? Or is it maybe a shity carrier bearing I was given?

    Also have a small driveshaft vibe still. I emailed the guy about he told me either flipping the driveshaft 180* could help? Or it was another problem called phasing I believe he said in the email.

    Early this year I had the dealership replace my entire driveshaft assembly. I had rusted & noisy U-joints & I didn't want to just replace the joints. My previous CB & my new one both have the same play. I've never heard of the symptoms you are having. I'd take it back to who ever did this & get it replaced.I flipped my CB also & it got worse for me so I placed it back in it's original position.

    I have 5.5" of lift & only measure 27 1/4"
    After the lift was done I measured from the edge of the silver part to the back side of the black & it was 1.5"
    It looked just like the pic I posted, now with the spacer it's flush. When I had just 2" blocks it was out about .5"
    Maybe it's the difference in trucks or maybe the All Pros move the axle back a little bit or combo of both, not sure.
