Re: please help with vitara lift and drive shaft
Lifted it 2" how? Shouldn't need diff drops for that. And judging by that pic something is seriously wrong. Better explanation of what you have done would help.
If it ticks over...leave it

Iv used 2inch spacers for the springs.2inch shocker drops at the frount and the diff drop brackets and camber correct bolts. I was wondering if because its the long can drive shaft?

So as the wheel sagged when you jacked it up the shaft went to this angle and now won't go back?

Re: please help with vitara lift and drive shaft
I know little about lifting vitaras but that is a really steep angle.
I don't know where the diff drop brackets attach but have they twisted it round or something making that side higher?

No mate iv had them off and checked against my old ones they definitely 1.5 inch longer.I think it could be because need the other shaft of spring spacers are to big.only two things it can be isn't it?
Re: please help with vitara lift and drive shaft
What Dan said, it looks like the diff is twisted sideways somehow!
