driveshaft angles after lift

after you put the 3 inch lift in your x. what do u do about the rear drive shaft angles. is there a sye kit and new drive shaft u can get like on jeeps.

Our driveshaft is long enough that a 3" lift does not change the driveline angles enough to be a problem.

if you just jack up your xterra and let the rear wheels hang down a few inchs. the drive shaft angles are off by more then 5 degrees. ujoints have to have less then 3 degrees of angle.

Um, no.

People run 3" lifts with revolver shackles on Xterra's and don't have issues with rear driveline angles.

Extreme driveline angles are less of a problem at the slower speeds that you encounter offroad flexing the suspension. When flexing your biggest concern is keeping the angles within the operating range of the u-joints. On pavement you want to minimize angles to avoid vibrations at highway speeds. As I said above a 3" lift on the Xterra doesn't change the angle enough to matter. If you're getting full flex out of revolvers at 60mph driveline vibrations are the least of your worries.

yes what he said!
