I picked up my front drive shaft today. Some place between my measurement and the making of it it ended up longer and thicker in diameter then I would have liked. It has 3 inches of travel but ends up with one inch left before it collpases tight. I plan to lift it 2.5 inchs later. How much will it lengthen with a 2.5 inch lift? Will one inch of travel be enough travel tell I get a lift? Does the angle between the skid plate and drive shaft change much? It seems tight even with a smaller diameter shaft:confused:
 
3" total? that doesn't sound like enough.:confused:
