thanks again. your pinion angle didnt change at all?

kyb in rear cuz they are not an actual drop shock, front is too heavy and will bounce if you dont use drop shocks.

doetsch shock are really good, ive never had them on one of my vehicles but i have installed and used in performace cars ive driven. great shock and last longer than belltech

thanks again, i guess for $40 each, my mind is made on that. what about the springs? ive heard of people cutting r/t springs b/c they are stiffer than a/m springs, but do they work on mine, and how much do i cut to add 1" more of drop?

pinion angle didnt change enough to make a difference otherwise i would have been eating up u-joints like crazy and there was no noise whatsoever.

i hear what you are saying, but don't the hangers and shackles do the same thing? idk, i know nothing about suspension, i get picked on all the time about it.

Yes, if you only installed the REAR shackles, it would do the same. Maybe it works, nobody likes to save money more than me. I haven't tried it, the physics just don't look right.

I used my rear hangers from my kit And my pinion angle (I think, haven't meassured yet) is off and causing a vibration and some noise

IT DOES WORK!!!! i ran it on my truck for some time! unlike 94mark3 i didnt have any of those problems.

I'm sure once I install the other brackets it'll fix itself. I'm not even 100% sure it is my angle causing it because I have not checked. My angle couldve been off a degree or two before I dropped it, adding an additional 2-3 degrees making it 4-5 off. Who knows??!

If I didn't get these for free, I would totally flip mine. No doubt
