G’day fellow Disco lovers. I’m getting ready for a suspension lift and bigger boots and would like some advice on what point would I adjust my diff radius and do I need a spacer on the prop shaft. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. DJ

D2 2001

D2 uses double-cardan front driveshaft, so it can take more lift without too much driveline vibration.
Beware of caster - you lose about 1.1 degree for every inch of lift.

Would I need to put in off-set radius arm bushes for a 3” lift?

For every degree of caster you regain, you make the driveshaft angle worse by as much (actually worse yet, since the pinion is going down with respect to the transfer case). I don't think a trade of road handling for driveline vibration is a good one.

Awesome. Thank you so much for your advice. Very much appreciated!
