[QUOTE=CUpgt;403309]I didn't realize that you had 2" spacers on that truck as well. I was a little mind blown that it sat that high with just a TF HD kit. Makes sense now. You def need 33s! And then probably some 4.11 gears. (3.54s are tolerable though)
Now thats a good example of a good balanced lift
Thanks for sharing.
If you started to fool around with this mods it never ends: Tyres, double jointed propshafts, 4.11 gears, stepping plates, etc, etc, etc. Our toys did not just became bigger but more expensive as well.

Very nice lift on your truck and the tyres balanced it all out well! Really very nice![Cool](https://landroverforums.com/forum/images/smilies/kKt1IJ6.png)
Already had geometry problems on instillation. The front propshaft knuckels knocked and needed to grind away quite a lot. This means it is weakened more.
But us boys with this toys just saw another solution: Terrafirma's double knuckle drive shaft seems to be the answer and I am eagerly awaiting the Quote.

Not sure what you're angles are like, you may need a single DC or maybe even a double DC. A guy has a double DC for sale here, not sure what shipping would be like though.

Also, what are you're plan's for tires? Depending on tire size you may find that the 2" spacers are totally unnecessary .

Toyfare just an FYI mine disco was doing the same thing and it turned out that the airconditioning was overcharged. I know it sounds strange but the electric fans could not keep up when I sat in traffic, I had changed the stat twice and the radiator then on a whim I checked the pressure in the system and found that it was over pressure.

Yeah I wouldn't reccomend grinding the flanges.

The standard propshaf caused the total destruction of my transfere case bearings and the high range gear bush. (Due to the extreme angel)

I have decided not to repair and threw it out. Got a 1.410 ratio reconditioned box and installed. The test drive was excellent but thought I heard some knocking on the propshaft and abandoned the idea of going further.
Now the question stays: Double DC or wide Angel
![Confused](https://landroverforums.com/forum/images/smilies/muBAORM.png)
On a UK forum saw some guys not happy with double DC (still vibrating) and changing to wide angels. They claim it works up to 11" lift. ?
In the meantime the Disco is on light duty and will pass the time installing stepping plates and Canvas seat covers.
Ps. The cost importing from the USA to Mozambique is trice the price.
