One more question:

The 4x4 Fabtech 6" comes with a driveshaft spacer as well that the 2wd doesn't come with. I have one of them, does anyone have any input as to whether or not I need it?

let me make this as clear as possible. the driveshaft is only supposed to stick out of the transfer case/transmission extension housing 1 1/4 '' if yours is sticking out 1'' or so more than the stock 1 1/4'', you need the spacer. after i bolted on a fabtech on my 03, my driveshaft was 1 1/4'' too short (sticking out 2.5''), and the transfer case was leaking transmission fluid, so i chose to have the driveshaft professionally extended.

the driveshaft ends are sawn off, and a new, longer piece of pipe is welded in the middle, as needed.

Maybe a dumb question, but how do you get the parking brake out of that bracket on the leaf spring hanger? I haven't messed with it yet, but just glancing at it I couldn't figure it out.

Thanks
