Yea I realized that after posting lol. Still a newbie at all this.you set pinion at ride hight.
You are doing great so far. Once the passenger side comes back a little you can put the springs in again. Don't tighten anything down yetYea I realized that after posting lol. Still a newbie at all this.
Working on it a few hours in the evening after work and the weekends. It’s eating my lunch actually....how's it coming along?
HaHa! I totally get that man! It sounds like you're pretty darn close. nothing wrong with taking your time and getting everything measured up right though!Working on it a few hours in the evening after work and the weekends. It’s eating my lunch actually....
maybe I’m trying to get it too exact. I’m not sure of the control arm lengths on the lower side. I got the bumps lined up from the side view and installed the springs last night. Tonight I’ll install the new shocks, put the tires back on and put it on its own weight. Then deal with centering the axle and pinion angle. if I fight it much more I’ll just put it on a trailer and have someone else finish it. It’s taking all my spare time and with a newborn.... well the wife isn’t too happy with me.
Well first off this is my first full suspension kit to install on a vehicle, done plenty of levels and such. Secondly, they’re instructions are by the piece instead of a full on kit... which is aggravating. So I’m wearing google search out for some help and you get 900 different ways to do something. For instance ... control arms bolts should be free enough at ride height to just push out... well mine sure the hell aren’t so it makes me think I’ve done something wrong. I’m just going to do it and see how the end result comes out.HaHa! I totally get that man!

Ideally you'd like to measure from front of housing on the flat spot with the round indentation on it on either side.View attachment 190339Here’s where we are now. Axle is shifted 1/2” drivers side, I’ll fix it later. Pinion angle... measuring off the top of pumpkin I’m +5.4* and drivershaft is measuring 12.4*. Now from what I’m reading I need to roll the axle up 3.5* to Get a flat line??
