    It is 1" X 2" tube. Here is a photo of it. This brings up another question. At one time Doug said that he did not have to notch his cab for the drive shaft. How did that happen?

    It looks like Toolman's spacer has holes to mount the spacer for a 1 inch or a 2 inch space.

    i have a 2000 silverado ext cab and i think that is where alot of my vibrations are coming from because my pinion angle is good. any info about nbs with airride or lowered, also can this damage the driveline if i have been driving like this.

    Yeah, I was thinking that too. I am not sure why I went the way that I did. I am sure that i went by the instructions. I have about 50K on the drop without any issues.

    Uhhhh....you had to cut because you have it installed wrong. It is supposed to be laying down.

    The DJM spacer is actually 2 pieces. They are 3/8" flat stock as long as the bearing and about 1-1/2" wide w/ through holes in them.

    I was afraid you were going to say that. I am pretty sure the instructions showed the process.

    Why do you think those through holes are in there like that? I bet they line up w/ the holes in the bearing and crossmember if you flip it down flat.

    Thanks Broly. Just to make sure, it needs to raise the bearing 3/4" or 3/8"?

    3/4 total, but the DJM kit has (2) 3/8" plates that need to be stacked.
