Just wondering what shims everyone is using after 3/4 drop. I installed a 4 degree shim under the rear spring on the axle perch but it needs more of downward rotation...its near straight with the drive shaft now! Any suggestions?

 

I have a 4-degree installed. No problems here (that I know of).

 

My kit came with 6 degree shims.

 

Mark,

I have a 3 deg and a 2deg to give me 5 deg total. I like the way the rear looks with that...

 

How does the rear look? Is the driveshaft straight with the pinion with the L sitting normally? Or is the pinion pointing down slightly? Also where could I get some shims? Thanks

 

Pointing down just a tad, the traction bars keep it right inline under load. Most and spring or aligment shop will have them. Summit has them as well I think....

 

Did you check your DS angle? I want to make sure mine is set just right before I bolt on the traction/lift bars. Thanks

 

My dad did a EYE check.. He has setup many race cars over the years and I trust his EYE. It was good enuff for me....

 

OK that sounds good. I will most likely do the same. Here is a picture of some shims. They are from Summit. Thanks for your help. http://store.summitracing.com/global...e/BEL-4975.jpg

 

Those are it...

Here is some info from my experiances...

Stock 3deg shims work well

2in shackels 2deg shims

3/4 kit- Use 5deg shims


These are how I got my best results or pinion angle setup....

 

I found these at Jegs. Maybe they will work better since I don't need that bolt right? http://www.jegs.com/photos/62020510.jpg

 

It would be best to measure the angles.

Hey Spike, I am showing my ignorance here, but how do you measure the "angle" , and what "angle" are we talkin' about here? Is this where the drive shaft goes into the pumpkin??

 

Here's a link with pix.

Did any of you have to install the Belltech Camber kit to have the front end aligned after the 3" drop up front?
