ok so i'm going to get a new front prop as mine is causing vibration, as I have a 2 inch lift do i need a wide angle or will a cheaper normal one be ok?

If a wide angle is a must which one/where should i get it from?

It depends upon what is causing the vibration. If it is due to the steep angle of the UJs causing the yokes to 'clash' then a wide angle prop will solve the problem.

To test this jack the chassis and support on axle stands so that the front axle is drooping under it's own weight. Then spin the wheels so that the front prop rotates and watch the prop shaft yokes.

cheers lads, on closer inspection i think that i def need a full new prop and am going to get one of the wide ones from paddocks, seems sensible anyway as it is lifted. I'll jack it tomoro and do your test just to check andy, nice one
