Does anyone know if either one has an advantage over the other? Pinion angle, strength, stability.

evo,

I have both shackles (brackets also) and 3" springs (total of 7") and have zero problems with ride or mechanics (although my shock angle bites and I'll have to modify my upper shock mount soon)

My springs are nearly flat when you look under the truck but the ride is as good as stock.

Hope that sheds a little light on your question. (pics below are @ 4/5 drop)

big.mike: Thanks for the reply. Did you have to correct your pinion angle?

Oh God! You better not let 98 see that or he will be poking around your truck for days. He has pretty much the same thing but his isn't lowered hehe. Wife won't let him lower it, she is wearing the pants I think . j/k 98 LoL
