    In theory you can use one as soon as the driveshaft starts to pull out. With only 2" mine was pulled out about 1/2".

    I got about 3" or so in the rear and I had to get a 0.75" spacer to get the driveshaft back where it needed to be. heres a good picture I made of how my driveshaft looked and how to measure to find the size you need

    Right now I'm at only 1.5" in the rear and it is pulled out maybe 1/4" but I'm gonna be moving up to 3" of lift in the rear so since that is twice as much lift as now does that mean the drive shaft will be pulled out twice as much as it is now?

    Okay, yea that's about twice as much as mine is pulled out now so I'm guessing mine will look like that after I add another 1.5"

    So Should I go with the 65mm X 65mm X 10mm or the 66?

    I have a few mods
    if I remember correctly, if you're unsure of what bolt size your flange has, get the 65x65mm spacer as thats drilled a little bit bigger so its compatible for both patterns, but the 66x66 is not compatible with both. I got the 66x66 BUT I know that my bolts are stamped with "11" so mine are the bigger size.

    never mind @SpruceTaco lol, I found the info I needed. here ya go @Taco gator

    quoted from http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/ForSale/DriveshaftSpacer.shtml
    • If you are not sure of your measurements, (it can be difficult to get accurate measurements in the confined space of the installed drive shaft), you can use the 65mm x 65mm x 10mm spacer with the 66mm x 66mm x 11mm flange. How can this be? Well, the holes in the spacer are drilled about 0.5mm oversized as are the holes in the factory flanges. The difference between the 65mm and 66mm bolt patterns are 0.5mm wider on each half, so with the bolt hole sizes, there is enough overlap to fit a 10mm bolt through all the holes. The reverse is not true, however. That is if you actually have a flange with 10mm bolts, the 11mm bolts will not fit in the 10mm hole.

    So all I would need to buy is the 65x65 spacer?
    And also, what is the advantage of the spacer? Maybe a stupid question haha, but if the driveshaft is only pulled out about 1/2" will there be vibes without the spacer? Or is there a risk that the driveshaft will actually come out?

    yup and whatever length you need. that really depends honestly, every truck is different when it comes to vibs. its always good to have things like that return to stock configuration to ensure that nothing happens. But yeah...its not gonna come out with only that much coming out lol
