Hi all

Welcome to Big Jimny.

A prop spacer is only needed if castor correction arms are used. I have a 4.5'' lift and 4.5'' correction arms, I needed a prop spacer due to the extra droop on the front prop, the prop was failing on the gearbox cross member.

Thanks for the relply. I will be putting caster correction bushes in. So do you think i will need a spacer? Or is it only if i completely change the arms to corrected ones?

Thanks again

You wont need a prop spacer. Its only with a'lot of caster correction as the axle is a'lot lower than the transfer box, this gives it a'lot of droop on the prop and so it fouls on the chassis cross member.
