Drive shaft question after lift.

[Tdaz250]

So i noticed before i started doing the lift(already had the revtek spacers in the back with stock springs) that the bottom/ part that attaches to the rear looked like it had slipped back a little bit(lift the whole driveshaft extended/slid out a little since doing the revtek spacers).

So after I installed the superflex coils, land cruiser shocks and ext. panhard bar i noticed it had pulled out a little further.

My question is this is normal correct? I'm assuming the driveshaft does this normally i was just a little alarmed at how much it slid out.

I'll try and snap a pic next time i'm under there to make sure everything is tight.

Yes, it's just trig: increase the leg and you increase the hypotenuse, e.g. you lift more and the driveshaft has to extend out. Jeeps use what's called a slip yoke eliminator (SYE) to compensate for additional vibrations and the driveshaft being overextended, though I've never heard anyone using one on a 3rd gen.

Its normal. The driveshafts on these have a lot of slip so you shouldn't have to worry about it coming apart or anything.
