if it doesn't meet their requirements, then yes that brand or product line would be illegal for sale there. do a search on "hazardous material transporting", you'll be surprised what falls into that catagory, and the rules that apply to anyone that is transporting/shipping it.

there are a few options that you can do to fix that, just depends on what you're after. if you already haven't, do a search through this tech section, since it's all in here & been said many times before.

So, is it safe to assume the 2" rough country sus. lift is not a good choice? I was think of using it along with a 2" bl.





Thanks,

Its because the paint isn't VOC compliant. They do sell a VOC compliant paint but its $70 more. So seeing how I bought 2 gallons. I got it from AZ and saved $$$.

This seems like the most appropriate place to ask, so I will:

Does anyone know if a 1.5-2" shackle lift could be enough to cause the driveshaft to wobble by taking the drive angles out of spec.? A GM mechanic up until the early 90's told me the input and output angles should be within either 1/2 or 1 degree of each other or it could wobble.

Last I'd checked the U-joints all appeared to be snug.

It's a 98 4dr 4wd

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
