Re: Is my DOM too thick?
The 9'' rear was cleaned of any of the old brackets and set up under the truck behind the OE Dana 60 that is on the truck now. Pulled the rear bolts on the leaf springs and lowered the truck frame 6 inches which is the ride height I wanted. The yoke on the diff was almost a straight shot from the tranny, so I mounted some mock up arms and they ran straight back to the 9" axle. Now I knew where to mount my new brackets. Remember there were no brackets on the 9" axle so I could set my pinion angle where ever I wanted to. Also I am running coil overs behind the axle so I will not have to have a flat spot on the arm for the springs which is another reason for the bend. I calculate that the pinion angle will be 2* at ride height. There will be three holes in mt coil over brackets for adjustment.
