    I went down to a local drive line shop(OC Drivelines), they guys there were some really knowledgable old school hot rod guys. They took a look at my drive shaft and noted it was pulled out of the trans tail housing, they recommended extending my rear shaft an 1" and rotating my CB 180 deg. I ordered that spacer you mentioned and I'll be rotating the CB and see how that works out. I'll post what I find

    Glad to hear it worked out for you! Also I knew I couldn't be the only one! haha.

    I have noticed though that even with my fix, still been wearing the rubber some on the furthest back/lowest part. Those CBs are expensive! (replaced one already :mad:) I'll tackle the spacer later in the month, perhaps flipping the CB will help it last longer.

    I was able to tell the problem from the tranny housing too, mine is still sticking out like .25-.50 inches. Did they mention if it's supposed to sit flush with the outer cover of the tranny?

    Going to order my maxtrac lift this week! Talked to headstrong about the package he has put together and the OME spindles and dakars are on back order :-(!! Waiting to find out how long. I'm also going to order my wheels/tires too from discount tire. Going with duratracs 285/70/17 with xd spy wheels. Since the front gets pushed out about 3/4" I think I should get a spacer for the rear to even it out. Anyone do this? Sorry didn't feel like reading 128 pages to see if it was asked already. And I shouldn't rub anywhere with this setup either??

    Any spacers in the front? Do you have the maxtrac lift? If so does 1.25" make the tires stick out about the same?

    Nevermind just looked up your pictures. Seen you running the maxtracs. Your truck looks awersome! Did your tires rub at all? And I guess are you still running spacers up front too? Thanks

    Unless you add more lift I believe you definitely have to trim for 33" tires (285/70). I had to do a body mount chop too, which is a must if you offroad at all and cycle your suspension. I went offroading soon after lift and 33s so my rub marks helped me determine what to trim haha.

    But currently My drivers side inner fender plastic is gone (ripped off while off-roading) and my passenger side is trimmed mostly around where the vent holes are in the inner fender plastic. I believe that wheel spacers make you have to trim more since it brings the wheel out more and interfere more when the wheel is turned.

    I just had my cb and driveshaft replaced under warranty. ..my tech said he had to pull the rear of the drive shaft 1.5 inches so it would meet the rear end. .. he also recommended the spacer. ..so I ordered one from 4crawler yesterday..I have a cb drop so my angles arent terrible its just that pulling on the rubber

    I installed mine since I installed my lift and no problems at all. A good investment to save on the cb bearing.

    So after heading down to a driveline shop and being recommended to have my driveshaft extended 1" I went ahead and ordered a driveshaft spacer from 4crawler.com. I received it today and installed it, only take about 30min to install. I took the truck for a test drive and had nearly no vibrations, I'd say it cured my vibes 99%. My carrier bearing is starting to whine a bit so that 1% could be due to the CB being bad so I'll have to replace it and see how it goes from there. My only complaint is I wish I would've a ordered a 3/4" spacer cuz it looks like the shaft might be sitting a little to far inside the trans housing. I wasn't sure how far in it needed to be so I figured 1" would be fine.

    I'm keeping the 1" spacer for now since I'm able to drive with my truck with no vibes but already ordered the 3/4" so the 1" will be up for sale in a few days.
    I couldn't be happier with this product though!

    Here are some before and after pics

    Ill take that spacer off your hands!!

    From the looks of it, your slip yoke doesn't look to be too far out to begin with. I have an inch before mine sits flush in the trans housing.
