Front Driveshaft Rubing on exhaust at 28.5" ext
Hi all
Well the short story is i have rancho 9000xls with my RK x factor lift.
My shocks are at 28.5 extended Rock krawler say to have 29" but at full droop my driveshaft is resting on the exhaust going past the crossmember. and to top it off its right where the plastic boot is.
Has anyone had this dramma ?? If so how did you overcome it. I was considering the use of limiting straps but im not sure how to fit them on an eye to pin set up.

GET THE SHAFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!OR YOU WILL BE LIKE ME DRIVING A 2 WHEEL DRIVE UNTIL UPS GETS THERE WITH NEW SHAFT
shortly after 1st good flex with new 28" shocks shaft got a little noisy and started spraying grease.During 2nd good flex outing with new shocks and new dragling/trackarm combo, wound up on my back on the trail removing this so I could drive home, and my shocks are 1/2"shorter than yours,have JE REEL 1310 on its way,and yes has pushed my exhaust down,glad I currently have skid plate off or exhaust would be crushed
