Shafts? You mean axle shafts or cvs?
It's a 2wd . Yep, I drive a minivan.
12-13inches of useable travel. I opted to stay with torsion bars using the Sway-a-ways instead of coils in the attempt of keeping as close to a factory configuration as I could. Less sprung weight and I just couldn't get my head arround the fact that my truck would be completely supported by a welden on shock hoop.
