Pinion angle

[duke1n]

Putting ther rear suspension together and wonder what people are using to achieve proper pinion angle. The stock setup seems to have a lot of negative angle, probably because of the fact these trucks use leaf springs. Seems like with ladder bars you could cut that down a lot to maybe -2 degrees. Are there companies that sell spacer wedges or have to make your own?

The type of suspension you run will dictate how much angle you need. Leaf springs will generally be 3-4 degrees negative...ladder bars and 4-links will be less...since they don't move.
You need to do your homework on that stuff cause getting it wrong will make you miserable.

Yup I am shooting for about -2. Question is where do you buy shims?
