Im doing a 5 or 6 inch drop spring and a 2 inch lowering block and was wondering if I am going to run into problems with the angle of the pinion. Would flipping the trailing arm mounts on the crossmember benifit me to correct the angle? Am I over thinking this and there wont be a problem at all? Will I need a shim kit? If so how many shims would I need? I like the idea of flipping the trailing arm mounts but I dont want to do it if i dont have to. I have a 1967 swb if that helps.
