Re: trailing arms

I flipped my mounts to help correct the geometry of the rear suspension. I z'd my rear frame rails 10" and flipped the mounts and mounted 6" higher than stock. My rear trailing arms are now within 4" of the stock position. If you don't relocate the mounts you will end up with trailing arms that are severly angled.
