Default Driveshaft spacer

I lifted up my 03 Dodge Ram 1500. I can't find a driveshaft spacer for my truck anywhere. Does anybody know where to find one?

Not sure what you are asking? You had one and lost it. It helps us to help you if you can be as detailed as possible when asking questions and provide detailed vehicle information such as 2 or 4 wheel drive, etc.

It is a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 4wd. I have a 8 inch lift on the front and 7 on the back. I am having problems with the angles and driveshaft noise. I thought it would be cheaper to find a driveshaft spacer than to go and have a longer driveshaft made. I have searched everywhere and can't find a spacer for my truck. I need help finding one.

I've never heard of one. How about from the company you got the lift from?

The lift came with one so I know there has to be one I can buy. But I added another inch of add-a-leafs in the back and a 2 inch leveling kit in the front. And now the shafts are too short. I was looking for a bigger one.

Get a drive shaft made...screw those spacers!. I assure you that a purpose made drive shaft is a better, safer & more durable option. $200 most places will extend and balance them and you're set.

WaylonCoggins, Were you ever able to find a drive shaft spacer? I'm also looking for one for my 04 Dodge Ram 1500 2WD. Was also wondering which company you got the lift from.

This thread is over 5 years old. The original poster made thse 3 posts back then and has not been back since, The better/safer alternative was suggested in post #6 and I believe it is still the best option. He also said the lift was on the truck when he bought it.

Default Spacers available

1 inch spacers are available at
https://www.4crawler.com/4x4/ForSale...html#Dodge9.25

Just make sure to measure your pinion flange, due to there being 2 similar but different flanges.
