Default 3"+1". Spacer

Just a quick question. Would I be safe to put a 1" spacer on top of my 3" teraflex spring lift? I am running stock drive shafts. Would I have to change my ds's?

well since you are running a TF 3" kit I am assuming you are closer to 4" (maybe compressed for a bumper winch etc?) but a 1" spacer would put you over 4". You'd probably be fine under no articulation but you are gonna want a new DS if you are gonna wheel that bad boy

***EDIT*** after looking arounf there are a lot of people running oem DS with more than 4" of lift

Sounds like a body lift might be a better solution for you.

6 spd. I already have a bl. I'm just trying to avoid to much trimming to clear the 37's under articulation
