5-link help/?'s

[tamillac7]

i bought my truck with the 5-link already on it (i know why not do it urself but for $1500 i could not pass it up + a buddy needed help)...so anyways i recently took the step-shavers off to re-do/fix them and i realize when they are not on there it will lay lower in the back, i also noticed when it does this that the u-joint on the driveshaft hits the front mount (actually the bolt) for the upper link!

should i be concerned about this, cuz i am, or should i just put the shavers back on so that i wont ever go that low again?

fix it dont u like going lower?

[wagonproject]

Im not sure what the shavers have to do about going lower...

[tamillac7]

^^yes i do

^and with the shavers on there like i could go as low without them, but it would crush the shit out of them, ya kno what i mean? like without the shavers on there i can go lower, past the point of them hitting if they were on there

youre putting the kit past its designed point of operation, the truck will never go that low with full body panels so i wouldnt mess with it.

if u are concerened about it u could put some rubber bump stops on the notch to limit the drop to where u want it to stop

thanks everyone for the input!

^^yea AVTekk thats what i thought

^s10sixteynine that is is a pretty good idea, i might do that cuz when i get the shavers back on i dont want to rip them right off again
