I have 4 inch lift and zero rate up front, my front drive shaft that Im trying is at 33 1/2 ride height, it compresses to 32 and extends to 35 or 37 with out the collar. My question is will the 1 1/2 inch compression be enough or will I bottom out and crack the transfer case adapter??
TIA

with the collar on its about 1 1/2 inch each way.

None of us can really tell you how well your truck will flex, so there is no way for us to tell if your driveshaft will bottom out.

I would bet that it won't bottom out.

But just go flex it out on something and adjust accordingly ;)
 
More than likely it will be fine. Flex it out as much as you can buy putting the opposite rear tire (to compress the front) up in the air. Even though you don't need to compress both sides I would just to double check everything
 
Thanks guys. I was thinking it should be ok, just wanted to double check. Ill flex it someday when its running on its own power :o
