    Pinion angle

     



    I want to pull the narrowed 9 out of my truck (86 Chevy) and switch from leaf to coilovers and four link. Is there a kit? The pinion angle is my only concern, because my ride hieght is going way down, the kit would assume factory ride hieght, right? I can do any fab work that needs to be done, so is using a kit a waste?

    I bought a triangulated four-bar kit from Progressive Automotive in Ohio. Very reasonably priced and good stuff. The labor savings are well worth doing it that way, imho. They also make a slick rear sway bar setup. Had to have that, too.

    These guys might have something that will help. They have a good tech support also

    Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!

    I like their stuff because of the heavy duty helms ends and the amount of adjustable.Their tech support is first class.They build stuff for the home builder in mind.
    Good Bye
