Trailing arms cross member fliped? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hotchkis,

Just curious, why didn't you add more adjustability like my home made bracket has? (both up and down)

One more thought, the shim you are providing with the kit, I'd assume this only corrects pinion angle for one set of holes? Or do you provide multiple shims?

My measuring/testing showed that for every 1" of movement at the LCA mounting point, an additional 1* of shim was required. Just curious. But you guys probably already knew that a one shim for all adjustments wouldn't work to correct pinion angle.
