Problems with lots of lift?

dude772 · May 19, 2008

Im curious what problems anyone has had with 6+ inches of suspension lift.
Specifically with driveline angles? what did you do to correct this?

driveshaft lengths...........lengthened driveshafts
driveshaft angles............reangled pinions on diffs

Also, your tie rods will be at horrible angles, even with the Superlift Superuner steering setup. You will need to fab up some new tie rods.

Ah. That wasn't too clear until i read his signature.

i didn't want to complicate things by adding that, how much did you have to angle the pinions? and how much lift did you have?

i have about 6-7 but my wheel base is uber short which required much more angle
