i searched a little and didnt find any body mentioning it??

with the last portion of the stock trailing arm truck susp. being angled so that it is flat with the asphalt, what are you guys doing about pinion angles??? when you use lowering springs it will tilt the pinion more to the ground the lower you go.

are you guys simply adding * shims under the axle?

do you remake the arms with no angle?

with as extremem as some of you guys drop your rides some one has had a problem.

I don't think it's a problem on static drop trucks. Honestly, I've never even checked mine with a 6'' drop on the back.
