Ok, just a quick question I failed at looking up.
Have a 8.8 out of a 1999 Explorer torn down and prepped for rebuild. Turns out it didn't need to be rebuilt, but I wanted to be sure (machining marks are still on the ring and pinion, was very well cared for).
Read Jims article on the swap, and a few more, but it's much easier to ask.
Jim mentions setting the spring perches at 6 degrees. Wanted to know if this was a universally correct angle, or if I need to adjust that angle depending on the truck. Right now I'm running 1750lb rear springs and a 1" lift shackle on top of factory spring blocks. Driveshaft is being converted to a 1 piece.
