Holty Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 has anyone seen this topic over at pt.net yet? its very comical how people are going back and fourth about which way the shim is supposed to be facing to correct for pinion angle after lowering the truck. i'm sure misterp has something to add to that discussion. http://www.performancetrucks.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=373595 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaotik1 Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 I really like the drawing. Done with a form of cad, but still not accurate. hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that you ask a lot of questions there as well. If you know the correct answer to the question, then post it. Nothing funny about it really. These are forums to learn, not make fun of. IMO Sorry to crash the party here, but lowering trucks isn't anything anything I have hands on knowledge of. I would have liked to know the correct answer to it as well.

Jim dude, TRUST ME, i'm not making fun of anyone. The only reason i thought it was comical is because the CORRECT answer has been posted there a few times, just as 04CHASE said in the above post. FAT end towards the FRONT! Edited September 6, 2006 by Holty (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHEVY6000VHO Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Doesn't it depend on the type of drop though? If you "just" do shackles only, then the pinion will definately be pointing more towards the ground. If you do hangers & shackles, the pinion may or may not be the same way. It could face more upward. Not sure, but it was a guess. If it is pointing one way or the other, the shims would need to be either placed in from the front or from the back. That's why I really didn't know what was correct and what was not. Your truck has hangers and shackles. So is it possible your pinion angle would be pointing in a different angle than a truck with just shackles? That's where my confusion lies at.
