Full Drop
I noticed on a couple of threads that it states that on full frop kits it requires a new front shaft. Is that normally standard in the kits or is it sold seperately.

That has nothing to do with it AFAIK. The fact that he has a solid front axle probably has something to do with it. His was probably custom whereas the ones for full drop kits are just mass produced. You need a new front shaft if you have an Autotrac transfer case in any truck up to ~05. Sometime around that point, they switched to a new case that didn't spin the front driveshaft in 2wd. |

I'm not talking about the switch here. Sorry if i didn't explain myself. But i meant his shaft was more pricey since it was a heavier duty shaft, unlike the half ton shaft. The NBS shafts are aluminum if im not mistaking. Or the majority are aluminum, and aluminum is expensif. I might be wrong here, and if i am, dont be shy to tell me so. shayne

The front d-shafts are steel. Only the rears on some GM applications are aluminum |
