speed shops

and no 4x4 shops

i have extras, but with a 4" lift u shouldnt be anywhere near the angle for that kinda damage. also they are cheap, run about $10 so hardly worth it after shipping.

check other stuff to make shure ure not trying to cover up another problem.

i run a 4" lift and 35" with no prob till about 100-110mph then i start getting some vrmmm vrmmmmm

all i know is that wehn i look at the driveshaft..the angle is extreme...do you guys know any good u joints that are durable and somewhat cheep....what size for stock...i can't figre it could be anything else....plus when i put greese in the one that is breaking it is tight for one minture of tourture...does anybody know what kind of rims i can get with a 4 inch lift....i want to do a theme to my car...i am useing this beast for mostly street and want street apeal...i can already dust my friends 1990 civic hatch back

Hey, brother, I hate to rain on your parade, but "parts wanted" posts aren't allowed in the Garage. Just thought you might want to know.........

What size tires do you have? Are your fenders cut out at all? I have 12" and 39.5's and don't have any problems! Measure the distance between the ground and your frame at the body mount just behind the front wheel.
Stock height should be around 16.5", with 31" tires and if you have a 4" lift then you should be somewhere around 20.5".

I know for a fact i am not rubbing anywere on the fenders...theres about i say a good 6 or 9 inches of clearence...i'll find out tomarrow about t he height...

Do you have blocks or add-a-leaves in the rear? If its blocks they are usually tapered and you might have them in backward.

Some 36" Irocks and 20" wheels yo..... That would be the shiznit....... Not my tastes, but different strokes for different folks I suppose.... Hey, I got some stock springs I could trade you for your lift springs You could still clear some sort of DUB's fine and your drivehaft angle would go away
