Lift springs installed, Driveline question
Ok I have a tuff country 3.5" all spring lift im putting on my '84. It says it fits '79-84. I already have the back put on so Im good there. But im haveing trouble with the front. The front 3.5 inch springs are 2 inches shorter than the factory ones. And its acting like i need an extended drive line but i thought you didnt have to unless you went higher than a 4 inch lift. Also it is acting like its setting my front end forword. Im stuck and dont know what to do thanks for any help.

ok i took the drive line off and put it together. so now i need a longer drive line. i thought you dint need an extended drive line for a 3.5 inch lift. so now my question is have you ever needed to extend a drive line for a 3.5 inch lift?

I was gonna suggest turning the springs around.....
But yes, they are supposed to move the axle forward. And with that, you will need a new and/or lengthened driveline. Most shops can extend a driveline for about the same cost as building a new one, give or take.
