[silva surfa]

chears hopefully get it on with out any dramas, i have a knack of snapping bolts

[stormforce]

aahhh so your snapper2 then.I am prone to snapping bolts for the last 5 years on the surf

[silva surfa]

so its not just me then,do you think the suspention lift could of caused prop to go ?

[stormforce]

i wouldn't of thought so as i never had any trouble due to the lift mine was through neglect and not greasing it.

You can run into trouble with 4" or more of suspension lift, the splined coupling only has a couple of inches in contact with each other, so it wears quicker, especially if you tow lots or abuse it offroad, which our truck get lots of both.

I'm on our 3rd shaft, in 4 years.

Spacers on the diff and t/case pinions would cure it, but i have 2 or 3 more props to use up yet....

There is more impact on the UJ's with a lift too, as they are running at a steeper angle, so expect to replace them every couple of years on a lifted truck.

Add harder to turn bigger tyres on top of this, and you can see why lifted trucks need more maintenance than a stock truck, its par for the course, you have to live with it.

i'm with you now Tony.i never realised the lift had much to do with the problem i had on mine but put together with the abuse my truck had and the lift then i can see why now
