Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
So the trailing arm flip gave the truck a slight rake then? I bet it looks good just how it sits now.

Pretty simple mod--though it took me a few hours, mostly due to those !%dag@^*$^blasted##&%&*flabber#@!*#*@jackin*&^&%#^*% rivets. I used the brackets as a template for the offset holes and drilled them all out to accept 7/16" grade 8 hardware. Pretty happy with the end results, as the rake is now at an acceptable height- just gotta get the Camaro sway bar mounted up, and the rear suspension will be done! Just for comparison, the rear is now ~3/4" higher than before and with no measureable fore/aft change. Looking at this pic, I really need to get those a-arms in and get the front wheel centered in the wheelwell... |
Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Did you have to add shims between the axle and the trailing arms to correct the pinion angle or is the change in angle minor enough to not be an issue?
|
Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Nice work Chris! Keep the updates coming. With pictures.

Bottom line: no, I did not add shims, either before or after the mount flip and have no issues--even at up to 80mph on the (crappy LA) interstate this morn :) Quote:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
I know it's a small difference, but I like the stance more now you have done the flip to the brackets. I didnt like the look of your a$$ dragin on the ground, it looked lazy, not very sport.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Looks Good ! Nice subtle rake, adding the rear sway bar you'll have almost nobody roll. very cool.

Here's a side-by-side of before/after the mount flip. Amazing, to me, how much difference less than an inch can make (that's what she said! :lol: ). Also notice how the arms are no longer hanging down beneath the bed. All said, good mod :D |
Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
You nailed the stance perfectly! :thumbs:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
The stance looks really good, matches the front perfectly. Great job on a well thought out mod I would have never thought of.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Looks good..interesting about the pinion angle. My truck got worse with the TA mount flip...my trucks pinion angle is like (yes shims are on the way) 8*? After working to set a better angle from the eng/trans my d-shaft was too short...then he put on the wrong u-joint....my d-shaft is getting it re-redone :lol:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Stance is perfect. When do you plan to install the Forward Lower arms?

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Maybe a dumb question, but I read an earlier post that had to do with centering the front wheel in the fender opening. Is this done with the A arms your installing? and is just the lower needed to accomplish this? I'm still learning.:lol:
