Is it ok two run two driveline spacers on the rear shaft of a Samurai? One on each end. I'm thinking of moving my axle back an inch & i have an extra spacer available. I know the ext. yoke or lengthened drivleine would the correct thing to do, but i'd thought i'd ask.http://byfiles.storage.live.com/y1p9epTyaL0mryrcPOLKUBDsztrBdzbCyUarPsb-CAtr5AI-rTtFvGPbIjceoV6FpLs

yeah not the correct thing to do but give it a try,if it vibrates too much
make a longer drive shaft...
put them at opposite ends of coarse:D

well, keep in mind the driveshaft shops that advertise in the magazines have put out a chart of angles compared to rpm's.
. to spin the driveshaft with no vibrations or premature wear at highway speeds, you need to keep each u-joint to less than 3 degrees, and keep them within 3 degrees of each other.
. you'd also be better off taking a front driveshaft and cutting it down to fit just right, that way the u-joints would be as far from each other as possible and help to lower the angles.

yes you can use 2 spacers . it will cause drive line bind in the end
