I had to shave some material off of the outer wheel spacer, in order to get the pin through, and some off the A-Arm to allow the driveshaft to clear but it works like a charm. I've had several hours running with it like this and had no problems. The full shock length I use is 97mm. Check the pics below to see what I mean.



Personally, I would say that the car pictured has quite a bit too much droop, the car does like droop yes, but that is a bit excessive...

Chippy, yes the XF5661 axles do include the spacers with them
