Best Answer

Usually this is due to an aftermarket lift kit or something similar in which the drive shaft from the transmission, which is with the body of the car, needs to go to the differential in between the wheels. the lift kit puts more space in between the body of the vehicle and the wheels. The driveshaft a lot of times is a little longer than stock on these vehicles as well.
