Yep pulled them up a while back, some wild stuff. Only problem I called them and asked what their doing about all the crappy diveline angles their creating thinking they had some options for their customers an they basically told me it was all in my hands and they have no suggestions. Figured my crew is unstable enough having a 4in lift so I'll stick with it and maybe drop the hangers for a couple more inches on both my crews.

You would have to get drivelines with CVs is both ends. Maybe putting 5 ton axles would raise the driveline angle enough.

I just thought it was funny the guy acted clueless when I shot out the question. The remedies for springs that big are all out of my wallets range except for maybe the 10-12in springs and cutting the C's on the D60 and turning the pinion housing up. Another project, another year. :lol:
