Maybe a dumb question, but why is that?
Thanx;

 

There is some way to avoid or minimize the chance to damage the front driveshaft boot without replacing the entire driveshaft with aftermarket products ?

I read that problem happen because the metal ziptoe that seal the rubber boot hit the automatic transmission pan when shocks are fully extended...

Any ideas welcomed!

 

you can notch the skidplate if you want?

 

Please correct if I'm wrong.

Yes, I think is possible to cut a slice of skidplate to allow driveshaft fully extend without hit on it, but from what I read in other discussion also the auto tranny oil pan edge can cause the ziptoe damage problem.

 

unles you got mega long shocks, I doubt you will hit it with 2.5" lift. But I dunno. That teraflex lift is 3" front. I know my 3" lift ripped it.

 

One additional question...maybe Joe can chime in too (from TeraFlex)...do you NEED wheel spacers to avoid rubbing in the rear for mostly Daily Driver. I have ordered a set but they won't be in until after the lift is on... Am I good on-road until the spacers get here? Thanks

 

My 2.5 BB didn't rub at all until flex, FWIW

 

Thanks...appreciate it.
