So i recently installed 1.0 inch thick spacers ontop of my fox 2.0 coil overs, the preload was backed off by 1 inch to keep the lift as close as possible to what it was before. Ofcourse this was causing some binding. The left hand shaft is a standard aftermarket shaft as its all i could get before christmas to replace one with a split boot, the right hand one is a 10mm extended shaft rated for up to a 4 inch lift.
The extended one had some minor binding at full droop and the new aftermarket one had really noticeable binding at full droop and still noticeable at ride howght on left turns.
Today i stuck a standard spacer style diff drop in hoping it would at least help but during a test drive i thought it felt worse, i jacked it up on axles stands and my thoughts were right, the right hand side is definetly worse at full droop and the left i can barely turn. (The left hand extended cv goes back in on the 9th and both sides get high angle and high clearance boots added at same time).
My problem is why is it worse now with the diff drop than before?
Right hand side ride hieght- 620mm
Right hand side full droop 670mm
Left hand side ride hieght 630mm
Left hand side full droop 670mm
All measurements center of hub to gaurd, i also think that considering i had 40-50mm of droop pre spacers and roughly the same now with the spacers that something is a bit off as i would have thought dropping the preload 25mm would give me around 80-90mm droop at least
