Anyone got a compressor that could take out my blocks and put it back to stock and help me measure pinion angle so I know what shims to get? I wouldn't know what angle i would need to set it back to normal once I drop it. Never done all that before. Nvious helped me raise it back up to just a 2 inch drop in rear and the nuts on the ubolts were a PITA with just a wrench.

Re: maryland

the only issue i had with my driveshaft was when i bagged it. the SD 5 link at full lift would pull the rear wheels forward and the would compress the slip yoke all the way. this over time made the double cardon u joint thing jam and shatter so my truck was clickin and vibrating like an earth quake in my truck....the way i fixed it was got a new dive shaft and had it shortened a half in.

i live in calvert county, huntingtown to be exact if you wanna mapquest it...and you need a pinion angle tool thingy, i dont know what its called but yea, you need it...it sticks to the top of your driveshaft and measures the angle...i think stock is like 2* but i dont know for sure
