Iirc 5 deg is good.

I can't imagine your pinion angle could be too bad, your not that high.....

Only real option is cutting and rotating the inner c's

 

[bmikes]

I'm not that high but I Clocked my tcase up so my front driveline angle is more steep than regular

 

[Jbh97009]

Forgot about that part...... Hmmmm......

Time to rotate them C's!

 

[NW-ZJ-SCOTT]

I would drop the rig 2" and trim the fenders to compensate

And then build more of a full belly skid..

 

[bmikes]

Nope.. I don't really wanna go any lower than I am now. I'm only like 5 inch of lift. I was speaking hypothetically earlier, I still gotta see exactly what happens.

 

[Jbh97009]

I'd be willing to bet your way more than 5", your rig on 33's sits quite a bit higher than mine does on 33's....

 

[bmikes]

I have the 5.5" re coils up front, and 4.5" re leaf springs, and 1" or so shackles. I don't think I'm that much taller, if any.. but who knows

 

[Jbh97009]

I seem to remember your rig dwarfing mine, but its been a while since I've seen it.....

Given the transfer case clocking I still say c rotation is your only real option. Are you having issues of some sort? Or just trying to be proactive?

I get super bad vibrations anytime over like 40, 45mph. I've checked pretty much everything, and I'm correcting my pinion angle so I was just researching and looking into pinion/caster angle stuff.

Is your front shaft timed right? I have had 2 lately that were not. Its worth looking at.

please explain?

 

[Jbh97009]

Quick question;
What's your opinions on gear oil? Synthetic? Or regular?

 

[the_weirdo]

please explain?

The u-joints need to be in the same orientation. They cannot be rotated with respect to each other. Make one joint point N,E,S,W and all others must point that way also.

Passed my DOT physical.. and dribbled some pee into a cup..

Now to transition from an NV4500 to an Eaton/fuller.. Not as simple as it sounds

 

[SPECFab]

Its easy

 

[Jbh97009]

Just a few more gears..... And the flip of a switch.....

It's really fun parallel parking a 53 footer in down town Portland. LOL

 

[Jbh97009]

I bet....

Its also really fun putting a 53' wedge with 3 jeeps on it in a ditch, because you didn't take the corner wide enough, then unloading the jeeps and getting it back out..... (Wasn't me, but I was co pilot)

Hey I did that except it was loaded with six golf carts, plus four on the truck.
