Title: Rear Axle too Short
Post by: Black Blazer 75 on June 16, 2003, 01:16:00 am

I recently put a 4" lift on my 75 K5.  My rear driveshaft is too short to connect to my axle.  Has anyone ever experienced this with such a mild lift?

Any thoughts on an easy solution are appreciated (e.g., slip yoke from another vintage).

Thanks

4" of lift isn't mild in my opinion, I would expect the driveshaft to need to be lengthened.

I have a 4" lift in my 81 with the stock shaft.
