With 33's you want to do the camel cut on the rear quarter. With a 2inch lift you may find that the tyre still gets hold of the bodywork... i took mine off level as the 35's love bodywork for breakfast.

Is it at certain speed(s)? Sounds like you need one of those fancy front props (double something :? )!

Sounds exactly like mine used to do

more on overrun than under power?

the output bearing and seal will make no difference, neither will 2 brand new propshafts

looks like a "van dangle flip flop" prop is required

very nice

from my experience 33s wont rub your outer bodywork with those arches on.

you will need to lift it more for the wheels not to touch the inner arches
