Propshaft spacers. was created by Barnyzuki
Hi all, I`m a lot more used to playing with SJs/Sammis and the the X-90 than I am with Jimnybobs so I need a question answering if you could.

I have (approx) 100mm lift springs to go on my Jimny, do I need propshaft spacers ?

I do already have shocks, panhard rod bracket, brake lines, etc etc to suit the lift.

Cheers for you help, in advance, Barny.

Wow, this must be a tricky one judging by all the replies.

I do already have spacers I can borrow from my X-90 if needs be, would have been handy to know if anyone does use spacers what size they are so I could buy them in ready :)

I have 3inch Lifted Springs on my Jimny, but I DON'T have any prop-shaft spacers, but i do have a SJ T-case with custom made props...

I suppose, you'll just have to fit everything to find out.

Dave at B4V makes many different sizes of spacers ...

Jalapeño, IISY?

When i had my 3" lift with standard radius arms i had no prop spacers, didnt need them.

When i got my 3" corrected front radius arms i needed to fit a prop spacer as the arms push the front axel out. Iam fairly certain it was a 25mm one but i think it may be a 18mm one if you have a sammy box fitted.

Hope that helps.

Email ORA if you need any other help. They are very friendly and helpfull and know a thing or two about Jimny's :laugh:

:laugh: Yeah sometimes it takes a while to get a response. Nothing personal :laugh:

Lada springs? Sounds interesting. Iam sure you will get lots of replies if you post some pics on that one :)

I suppose you measure the gap once new arms are fitted, then order the size you need?

If you fit new arms front and rear will you require two spacers?

Can the truck be driven without the spacers or are you asking for trouble?

Cheers.
