hey guys i have heard fabtech makes a rear driveshaft spacer for lifted f150 instead of have a new drive shaft built. does anyone know were i can get one? or if anyone else makes on besides fabtech?

 

4 Wheel Parts.

But, you spent all the money on the Rize? Why go cheap now?

PS: Just get the new driveshaft. The spacer is probally $100 and my new driveshaft set me back $280 and was painted with POR15.

 

Prolly have to contact Fabtech. Here's the part number if it helps FT30072.

 

The spacer is $40.00

 

i may do this also, but i like the idea of a new driveshaft alot more....

why dont you buy it let us know how it is...then i can decide

 

I stand corrected.

Its still made for only 6" of lift though.

 

i know what u meen i would rather a new shaft but buyng this house is killing me im broke. anyway 40 bucks sounds great to me. anyone know how big the spacer is? or anyone that has it could u measure it for me thanks

 

find a local drive shaft shop. Thats what we do at the shop and itd not much to have it lenghted and rebalanced. many times comes out better than the OEM.

 

i know i just wasnt sure how much it will cost i think i will call the local driveshaft shop.

 

its normally under 100 bucs, it cost a little more than the spacer but its done correctly.

 

I got mine from 4 wheel parts for something like $50 shipped about 6 months ago. Rancho does not include one with their kit but Fabtech does. It solved my vibration problem at anything above 50 mph. Its a cheap quick fix but you do have to buy Grade 8 bolts since they did not include any when i got the spacer. *IF* you have the cash for the driveshaft, do it, otherwise get the spacer...thats what i did.

Good luck.

 

Hey Thumper, did the new driveshaft take care of the vibration you had after you lifted your truck?

 

Yes, the driveline vibration.

I also have a slight vibration since I threw a couple weights off. Oops!

 

off the wheels? how did u do that?

 

Offroad.
