    Pinion angle is correct ,and switched to a brand new one piece heavy duty drive shaft.This was to keep motor at stock anlge, and less universal joints only two,and eleminating the center bearing .The rear shocks do come to mind though,thats the next thing I am going to change.After useing shock extensions they still get close to bottoming out.On top of that, I have blown a couple of sets(air shocks),maybe 2,but the truck has also been lowered about 2 years ago.I used a complete lowering kit from Bell Tech (flip kit in the rear).I would like to use this vehicle as a tow vehicle,so I am putting in a air bag support system in the rear(then I can use shorter shocks).The air shocks I have are "stock" length heavy duty shocks.I can also manually air up the bags in the back when I carry heavy loads.Also new brake fluid in the whole system would not hurt either.
