how many boosted miles do you have on them?

 

35,000 ish

 

it also depends on how low you are. the lower you are, the thicker spacer you need. Different companies make different sizes.

 

This doesn’t make sense. If you go low enough, aprox 2"+... the axle position changes in a manner to where the prop end slips back to a more stock position in the cups. Look under your car at the angle of the axles stock and lowered, simulate the susp movement through the stroke and picture what your prop is doing inside the cup.

Lowering your car does not automatically mean you need spacers either. Its a misunderstanding that sells spacers. They are just a tool to get more mileage out of your cups no matter if your lowered or not, or by how much. all your doing is speading out the wear zone in the cups, lowering and raising your susp does the exact same thing.

 

all i know is that i know more than one person who had to switch to a thicker spacer since the thinner spacer didn't work out for them (while it worked for others who weren't as slammed). i think it all depends on where the bucket is worn and if it's already worn in more than one spot (for instance if the owner drove on more than one lowered position for extended amounts of time).

i'm no expert in the matter, but i don't see how lowering it 2"+ puts the shaft into a similar position as stock. Please explain if you care to (no sarcasm intended). i'm interested to know.

 

This is true.

 

No prob. Lets see if I can explain visually. The shaft position at stock ride height are positioned like this- diff in the middle, wheels on the outside) / \ In this way the prop is riding furthest out in the cups (towards the wheels)

Lowered moderately they are now parallel _ _ This moves the prop furthest inside the cups (closest to the diff)

Lowered further the shafts are now like this \ / In this way the prop is riding in the same location in the cups as the first example. The shafts have pulled back out in the cups.

 

Well, we took apart the Axle and one of the bearings was completed smashed apart and cracked. One of the 3 spleans was pretty ground down, and the bucket itself wasnt too badly pitted.

Gotta love the torque, lol

 

pics??

 

Jeff has em , my cell phone pics came out terrible, lol
