Topic: Do I need to shim rearend?

[Ramrod]

My question is for my 83 shortbed when I go to dual cases on sunday and switch over to a cv joint on my rear driveshaft will I need to shim my rearend.  I am running chevy rear springs with 6.5" eye to eye shackles and a angle 2.5" lift block.

You should be fine with your long shackes and a cv.

Thanks the rearend is pointed up ten degrees and the tranny is pointed ten down so it should be all right.

you will know when you getthe shaft in,the rear u-joint should be pretty close to staright.
