Now, u-joint bind (of a leaf spring car) may be the upper rotational limit .....but it is NOT the cause. It may be the effect, but it is more likely that the spring tension causes the un-load. It would take very long and soft leaves to allow that much twist, hardly a pick-up truck. Lift/lowering blocks can add leverage and increase the tendancy.
But this all started about a coil sprung truck with (what 3 foot long?) control arms.......NO WAY can they allow that much rotation. It is all about loading and unloading of the suspension......The meeting of horespower and traction limits. |
LONGHAIR.....never, & always, are 2 words that "ALWAYS" get my @ss into trouble
I dont think anyone is totally right/ wrong in this, there is a lot of good advice goin on. i have seen what wrap up, & bad angles do to your driveline........I dont have any sites to back me, just past experience! dont tallk to me about strip stuff.....I am street bound... its a bit different than the 1/8, or 1/4 mi run
trust me (that could be "scarey")......I DO NOT admiss any thing you have printed, but do have a slightly different point of veiw
after 47yrs, I think I am entitled to that..... most of what I have learned, has been in the "school of hard knocks".....I D@mn sure dont "know it all", but.....all has been learned the hard way! we are all here for trucks, & all opinions count(yours, mine , the next guys)......let us try to play this truck game , with "no fight"......too d@mn many things arent about who is right/wrong........but many different opinions, sure do leave a different point of veiw(,maybe im not wrong, i could just be different
) . I know that you have seen what I have learned over the last 30 yrs......I WILL BET YOU DAMN GOOD MONEY.......there arent one of us that can "trouble shoot " over the phone , or internet"......crazyL, rowin 6 in that old Chev
