drive shaft angle when lowered? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

sactoC10 · 10-27-2003, 02:34 AM

I don't see too many people commenting about any shake or power transfer problems when the rear has been lowered. Are these 67-72 (and earlier) trucks not prone to the same problems as trucks with leaf springs and leaf spring related issues when trucks are dropped?

Got my longbed down from 4" to 5" (in the rear) over the weekend and something feels different. Everything is centered, panhard is OK, shocks are probably stuffed to tight for sure, but it felt like the power was not as smooth.

Any input on this?
Thanks!
