No problem dntsdad. I started this thread for questions just like that. I welcome any questions. I don't claim to "know it all". I just want to help in any way I can. 4x4yota is right in what he stated. You can see the ride height angle pretty good on one of the side pics that I posted. I just went out and checked the actual angle that I'm running. With my angle finder, I'm right at 50 degrees right now. I'm more comfortable with 60 degrees. I feel 45 degrees is too much. I have 5" shackle plates. I will be changing to 5.5" to get that 60 degrees and a better pinion angle. This is just my opinion and my feeling only. I DD my truck 90% of the time 80-100 miles a day. On another note, I got some parts today. I'll fill ya"ll in tomorrow and pics too.
