I’m just after a little bit if advice.
I’ve installed new springs and shocks into my 1999 GV, giving it a 30mm lift and now the front uni joint of the propeller shaft is rubbing on the back right hand corner of the engine.
Is there anything extra that I should have done when I installed the springs and shocks or what can I do to fix it?
Thanks in advance.

Update,
Below are two pics.

thats wierd,

Usually the relationship of the diff/ chassis/ engine doesn't change with a spring lift as these components are all not changed/ moved when the springs are swapped.

In the GV's usually the spring lifts just increase the angles of the cv's bit as the IFS arms move, while the diff itself stays in the same place as its bolted to the chassis.

are all the diff locating bolts there & tight? are the engine & g'box mounts OK?
