Super VXer
Beast, I don't know how to look out for this, but a former member (Bimati) did a lift on his VX and I thought that he started to chew up drive shafts. It may have actually been the half shafts, and I may be mis-remembering here, but I remember him saying something about the pumpkin angle being critical. If it's tilted to far forward or backwards it starts to screw things up.
I'll try and hunt down some threads about this, but that's what my rusty steel trap of a mind seems to remember.

The angle of the pinion should remain the same on a linked suspension as the suspension travels up/down. The joint on the TCase side is were to run into problems with essesive lift. A custom high angle drive shaft can alleviate this.

True true, but if you use the lower links to push the tires backward in the wheel well, you need to use the upper link to angle the pinion back to the stock angle.Originally Posted by Triathlete

IIRC, a contributing factor to the problems that Jeff was having , was the use of wheel spacers to make GM wheels fit...
