Longer Leaf Spring Shackles
|
Earlier we mentioned how longer shackles will change the pinion angle on the axle. It is important that the angle between the pinion flange and the driveshaft be within a certain limit. A high angle between the pinion and driveshaft can cause the U-joints to wear rapidly and fail. Ours appears to still be in good alignment after the shackle swap. One thing we did note though, is that we gained more inches in travel than we did in lift, so now the shocks on this truck are overextending at full droop and we'll have to address that.
