it would be nice to have flat leafs but the tires come within an inch of the flares with how it sits now so its about 40% uptravel and 60%down i also had alot of issues with needing a longer front slip joint so i have to limit my droop yeah the shackle reversal on the front runs out of driveshaft slip at droop? You got hubs...go square on the d-shaft! the Toyota guys love it. x2, Square driveshafts rock if you have hubs. I use the 1/4" wall reciever tubing, it works good. Really only vibrates bad at anything faster than 55-60km/hr
