Driveshaft and Axle Modifications

 

When installing a long-travel lift, quite often the front driveshaft will require lengthening. The best way to do this is to construct a new driveshaft. The flanges are cut off. Bigger Pic

 

Not all tubing is suitable for driveshaft fabrication. To do a proper job (ie: keeping in mind issues such as trueness, durability, strength, and reliability), special materials are required. Bigger Pic

 

The new (longer) driveshaft is constructed. Various driveshaft tube wall thicknesses and tube diameters are available for high torque, high horsepower applications. Bigger Pic

 

Old driveshaft flanges are precisely placed. A dial indicator is used to precisely true up both flanges and eliminate any sort of runout. Bigger Pic

 

High articulation (long travel) suspension systems require special driveshaft considerations. The slip-yoke travel must be long enough to accommodate and utilize all of the front suspension travel. This may involve swapping a slip yoke from a different vehicle. Remember, we are dealing with triangulation, so a long travel suspension system with a long driveshaft requires little lateral movement of the slip yoke. So, even an increase in slip yoke spline length of ¼” is very significant. Bigger Pic

Lots of parts are available for custom driveshaft design. Weather you need to increase the size and strength of your U-joints, or you need a custom driveshaft to work with a new transfer case / axle setup …. We can do it. Bigger Pic
