Topic: Driveshaft length with single case and Marlin 4" lift and front hanger ?

[Skim]

How long should the front driveshaft be if I am running a single case and a 4" Marlin lift ?

[OOPS]

It is not the length of the shaft that you have to worry about. It is the length of the splines on the slip joint. Marlin and All-Pro sell a long slip joint. Trail Gear does also but in my opinion it is a POS, so poorly machined they come from TG with the U-joint caps welded in. Some d-shaft shops also carry the long slip for Toyotas The old slip will have to be cut off the shaft and the new one welded on in the right spot for proper phaseing and trueness of the shaft.

Bust out a tape measure and check....

yes your best bet is to measure it yourself. each setup will be a little differnt from how you limit your suspension. dont forget about droop as well, this is where the 12" long spline kits come into play. stay away from the TG one like was suggested. many have had problems with the caps and joints failing. 

call up jessie at high angle driveline. explain to him what you have and want you wantt to do with your rig. get the tape out and measure then have him build one for you. money well spent

Here is how to measure the front (it's for a square driveshaft)
