Put it on the transfer box end. Look at the gap between the chassis rail and the prop, it gets close. :-)

i have another problem: today i wanted to put on the shaft axle the 1" prop spacer. But there is not enough place. I think i need 0,5" prop spacer ( i have a transfert box 4.16 who come's from a samurai 413 )

have you got the same problem??????????

You need a 15mm prop spacer with the sami t-case.

BTW very nice looking arms. From quality?

for 0.5 inch I wouldn't bother with a spacer, the splines on the prop will easily cope with that especially as you have castor correction arms

When you will have the front axle drop the splines of the prop will come out to their limits.

After 8-9 times there will be problems and the prop splines will start to trim.

The arms look like the dg tuning one. www.dgtuning.com

Il dit que pour cette épaisseur il ne s'embêterait pas avec un spacer car le soufflet sur l'arbre compensera largement surtout avec des tirants corrigés Eric;)
