This is one thing I"m having problems with.... when I get my d-shaft, and shocks in, will they even out and be at the same angle??...

Might need to lift it a little to fit those tires correctly.

Nice. that will look good. How far forward did you move the axle?

moved it forward roughly 3.5". not much at all. but we also hacked off 8" of the front frame horns to help approach angle. I'm thinkin of possibly moving the rear axle back a tad too, but I dunno if I'll like it that long.

FROADER · November 21, 2005

Yeah, you're already at 115.5" not sure if even longer will be better, even with those 38s.

CarFreak146 · November 21, 2005

that's what I was thinking. I REALLY don't wanna sacrifice my breakover angle for departure angle. my bumper was built to take hard hits. haha. You wouldn't happen to know why my shackle angles up front are off would ya?

I'm not too superfly with all that stuff, but what comes to mind that it might be is either:
1. mounted wrong (which I'm sure you measured a few times, so I doubt that one).
2. springs aren't re-arched the same?

That's off the top of my head and like I said, I'm not a pro either.

ok thanks... that's the first things we checked and its all good, and I checke dthe sprigns for equalness (word?) before I paid for them. oh well, maybe somebody else will chime in.

oh my, that thing is huge, do you have a pic with somebody standing next to it?

CarFreak146 · November 21, 2005

no, I don't, I need to though... I was gonna get one tonight when I took it off the trailer, but when we pulled it off the trailer, the front shackles snapped back on the perch (I'll post pics later of that) and its now sitting about 5" lower in the front... yeah, bad news. gotta get that problem figured out.

jesus.

slravene · November 21, 2005

maybe the right front shackle angle is off because that right front tire is up higher (on the lip of the trailor) which might make it sit a little differently....maybe?

I wish that was the deal, but sadly, its like that on the ground too, just not nearly as obvious.... I"ll figure it out I guess.

If it's not, it should be. I think the word you're looking for is equality though.
