I disagree! With a 3" lift and castor correction arms a 1/2" spacer is probably necessary. The arms push the front axle forward slightly so that the springs are upright at normal ride height so already the prop shaft is extended. Then on full droop you will find the splines are very nearly at max length so to avoid damage and also out of balance movement its best to put the small spacer on. This is exactly the situation with my Jimny. Also the height at which the transfer box is mounted will have an effect on the prop shaft - if its mounted high, which some are, then another reason for using the spacer.
Voila!
Voila!

thanks, my friend dadam translated me your message
in fact, the drive shaft gaiter, decreased by 1 cm so 1/2" will be ok. I'll put a 1/2" prop spacer because you can see the the beginning of the splines, and i don't want the water come's inside.
I'll take a picture when the rain stop :dry:
Before my the shaft axle measured 76,8 cm and now 78 cm so only 1/2" more long ( this is why i can't put the prop spacer 1" )
more pictures:
compare:
before:
now: ( more flex )
i'll have to lengthen the brake hose:
A+
