Hilux's are the opposite. They need alot of travel up front because of their shackle mountings also. Alot of my mates have popped the shafts out.
Suzy has never popped a shaft. Hmm. I wonder how much is left in flexing though?

How much compression or slip should be allowed on a rear tailshaft with the car sitting normally on flat ground? |

A better example would be a stock sierra. Need some measurements? |

depends on tailshaft length, tailshaft angle and the distance the suspension compresses up to the bumpstops. you will need these measurements to get a rough idea. |

my car sits pretty high with a fair bit of travel. i have about 1.5" of compression b4 it binds. it has not been a problem for me |

Talking to an old mechanic at work, he reckons there would be bugger all compression, as when the spring bends, it lengthens. I reckon it would lengthen when the diff flexes down too... |
