I am just fine tuning the ride, 2 inch mopar lift. Do these single plates really produce the drops needed to return to factory shaft angles? Do you really notice a ride difference? Check out this big Ford kit that includes many more spacers?? Interesting that neither of the 2 JT kits below offers a lift kit range where these would benefit/be needed? Any advice from the 2.inch group???

The Currie spacer is 3/4”. I built one myself from some 3/4” aluminum bar, which brought angles back nearer stock (I have a 1.5” spring spacer in the rear). I didn’t notice any difference in the way it drove. I caught my carrier bearing on a boulder a few weeks ago, and bent it backward. I didn’t put the spacer back in when I put the replacement driveshaft back in. I think if you are running rear shocks which are 28” or less extended, you can get by without the spacer. If going with longer shocks or more lift, you probably need it.
