Perfect Driveshaft Fit: A Guide to Measuring and Selecting the Right Length for Your Truck
To ensure a smooth ride for your truck by selecting the right driveshaft length, start by prioritizing safety: park on level ground, set the parking brake, shift to neutral, and secure the wheels. Measure the driveshaft by locating it and measuring both its collapsed and extended lengths, using the centers of the universal joint yokes as reference points. Consult your owner's manual for the original driveshaft length and search online resources like Tom Woods Custom Driveshafts for further guidance. If uncertainties persist, contact a driveshaft specialist with your vehicle details. Consider the type of driveshaft, any truck modifications, and ensure driveline angles are within acceptable ranges to avoid issues like vibrations. Double-check your measurements to prevent drivetrain problems and reach out to TTS specialists Luke Harrison and Tyler Spangler for expert assistance.
