Apart from ruf is that all ? If so I find that weird cos I've gone ruf and moved my axle forward and I've not needed a prop spacer.

Just bought one from jimny bits which turned up next day about £45 posted and works a treat.

Axle moved foward a inch and defo needed a spacer but it does have extended shackles on it aswell (dont know if that made a diff)

Shackles could be it then. I've got rascal rears and ruf but prop is ok. It's a little out more than standard but not enough to need a spacer.
