Re: lowered my truck
if you let the air out of the tires you could lower it a little more!

Re: lowered my truck
Your pinion angle looks fine, its just the motor is on the wrong end of the truck.

Re: lowered my truck
Security Guy, you've stumbled on my secret plan that is sure to become the next fad on the hot rod/custom circuit: trucks with Volkswagon 1200cc air cooled engines in the bed.

Re: lowered my truck
Plus if you put the motor in the back, there is plenty of room under the hood for a blazer gas tank, maybe two. haha

Re: lowered my truck
I would suggest putting a body bushing between the axle and frame, otherwise it won't ride very good....

Re: lowered my truck
i bet that truck won't squat a bit with a load on the back. You might want to upgrade your straps and i agree with putting some body bushings between the axle and frame to cushion the ride.
