Oh yes I was going to take some pics of my ruined upside down rear springs!!!
They are absolutely trashed and a perfect example of why all extended shackles need to go in the bin!

Re: Prop spacer needed
Longer shackles aren't spring killers if set up correctly and the shackles aren't too long 
Also if you run a samurai with the smaller diff flanges then a late 410 propshaft is a better and probably cheaper alternative to a prop spacer, they are around 1" longer than samurai props

Re: Prop spacer needed
3 inch over standard = spring killer as I found out with the ones that came with the SJ
Sid James gone but never forgotten
Jimny 1.6 not as good as an SJ but still good

That much over standard and it'll max out the shocksROBBIE wrote:3 inch over standard = spring killer as I found out with the ones that came with the SJ
it's like the ones that were fitted to karis's when we bought it, the previous owner must've forced the springs down to get the shackle bolts in, the were S shaped where the shocks had no down travel left
