Re: Ready to go 1 Ton/K5
Awesome! Wondering about rear axle wrap, is there a big need for some kind of anti-wrap setup here? I don't think I'm going to have a lot of spring articulation, so don't want to make it worse with more hardware.

Re: Ready to go 1 Ton/K5
I know I have A-Wrap.
Research the snot outa adding one to my rig. Not much room up in there and my biggist roadblock is my dual exhaust being routed without this in mind. I could mount one directly above my driveline, like DIY4X's wraptor I think he calls it, backbone setup. I realy don't want to re-route my exhaust, it's a solid setup that does not move or wiggle...someday maybe.. I have found several examples and 'styles' of anti-wrap bars on the various fourms I visit. Search and you will seeeee  When I put my 14FF in I welded the perches to point the pinion 2deg south or down (I have a CV drive line so the install should point the pinion straight at the xfercase yoke). So when I romp on my 454 the pinion is probly 2deg North instead of 4degNorth...you dig? This was my own idea and theroy so??? Musta drank alot of coffee this morning lookat at all thoes words

Biggest thing is to make sure and 'not' take out to many leafs from the spring pack. Example: If it rides to high or to stiff, guys will pull a leaf and consider thing's good to go. Which it is untill...it isn't.  Watched a guy turn a set into one big 'S' shape one time becaise he did that. |

Re: Ready to go 1 Ton/K5
Right. Looking at the rear spring setup and gotta get rid of my 4" blocks. Thinking of using ORD's 2.5" shackle flip with their 6" super shackles. Should put my rear ride height back to level, as it sits a liitle high in the rear now. Also want to run a zero rate to help center the corp 14 blt, and the zero rate would give me that much more height back there. Make any sense?
