Re: Burb driveshaft too short after lift

TRANSFER CASE LOWERING INSTRUCTIONS
For ― & ūT 1980 and later model years on 4” and 6” lifts, the transfer case is lowered by using stock
mounting hardware on the transfer case cross-member.
1. Place floor jack under transfer case cross-member, raise jack until it applies pressure to the cross-member.
Remove stock mounting hardware.
2. Lower floor jack until there is enough space between the cross-member and the frame to install stock spacer
and mounting hardware per the picture. Tighten all hardware.
FRONT CONSTANT VELOCITY U-JOINT STOPS MODIFICATION INSTRUCTIONS
The stops on the front cv u-joint and the stops on the front drive shaft must be modified to obtain maximum
suspension travel on all 4” and 6” lift systems (see diagram below). These stops are designed to prevent the
drive shaft from contacting the road surface in the event of a u-joint failure at the front-end housing.
1. Remove the front drive shaft assembly from the vehicle.
Use a grinder or other suitable tool and remove the
amount of material needed to gain ample u-joint clearance
at the drive shaft stop. (Remove as little material as
possible). About 1/8” of material.
2. With the grinding completed, reinstall the drive shaft and
check the stop clearance by turning the drive shaft
