3" Lift

Jimmy68 · Oct 17, 2015

Quick question.
If I lift the rear of my truck 3" and tilt the pinion up 2 degrees at the same time, I shouldn't have any driveshaft issues. Right?
3" isn't much.

Pinion angle is not an issue until you get to around 7 inchs lift. so you're all good.

Cool.
So the 2 deg I already built in will be fine. I'm removing the 3" factory block and replacing with a 6" block.
Also thinking of incorporating a traction bar. Sort of along these lines. I like the dual bar and the shackle mount and if I mount it to my block it should work tickity boo.
Control spring wrap and wheel hop.

I'll be cutting my shock mounts off and rewelding them higher on the diff so I can keep stock shocks.

So was doing some bench racing last night. How about removing the rear spring hanger and using a half leaf for the top, tie the two rear eyes together with a shackle still. Was not to sure if a watts link would work or needed or not. Just some food for thought.

The travel outta this would be huge, very ruff image.

I'm picking up what your laying down. But this truck isn't going to need that much wheel travel.
1/4 elliptical would be nice but not needed.

Plus I have air bags and I do not want to modify to keep them. Easy enough to do but I don't wanna.

Probably don't need torque arms either. But the occasional pulling or muddy roads, I just don't want spring wrap.
