However, they are (I would imagine) primarily installing the RoW springs not the US 2.5" lift springs

That cable or pipe looks very close to that CV joint. Keep an eye on thatHi all- I am still thinking a lot about the crashed prop shaft drom Logsplitters car ( on a non lifted Grenadier) and others cases, where the „rubber“ is falling apart at liftet cars.
I do not want to start a technical discussion and for sure a more straight/flat angel of the shaft is better or more foregiving…..
However, I believe is is to easy to say it is „a general prop shaft issue“ when it comes to liftet cars.
First- obviously some cars non lifted showing the same topic.
Second - taking into consideration how many Grenadiers are lifted and put it in context to the so far known cases…..for sure it is not a „general problem“ - at least not from my point of view.
Since I have a under body protection and I was on vacation, I couldn‘t check the shaft properly. Now, after being back home I have checked it with an endoscope camera. After 40.000 km, 25.000 with a lift of 40 mm and using the car frequently in rather harsh conditions (dust, mud, through woods) the thing looks like new. See fotos below.
So- are we sure the root cause is the lift….or the lift alone?
Oh- on a highway I am rather turtle speed driver…..100-110 km/h….
Just food for thought….. and because it is a lazy su day

From Matzker - Germany. Below you see that the middle part is covering the part where the prop shaft enters the gear box.
I went by gulf coast defender then gulfcoastrover on a few socials . Still have a rover but this is my new wheeling toy
Good to know. I searched and saw all the lifted springs were usually not orange but wasn’t sure. I do now notice it’s raked forward some, so probably not lifted. Still learning after 28 hours of ownership ha!
Well.. got under mine last night. Everything looks fine, no sign of unusual wear. I'm only at 3000m about half of which is with the lift and tires. I love having a vehicle I can just slide under without jacking it up. I was under there with a flashlight for 15 minutes just looking at stuff. My wife couldn't understand.
That is EXACTLY the point - and why there is so little wiggle room on lifts
Or on a stock vehicle bouncing upward on rough terrain.
Well some say that’s a feature but I think there’s something wrong with my drive shaft. If you look really carefully you can JUST notice it.
FRT propshaft- $936.77
That is actually much more reasonable than what I was told a customer paid to have one replaced by Triad
yeah, that's just parts, labor, I feel, was ....... anyway, It's on the road again and I love it! now to get the lift springs removed.
Is that price including the 2 CV joints?
