Re: Lowering springs - Change pinion angle?

The drop leaf springs move the rearend up in the chassis.
Since you have the 2-piece driveshaft,... you might have issues there as well.
Some people shim the carrier bearing to help with the driveshaft.
You driveshaft will actually be trying to push itself into the back of the transmission, since it will be "straighter" with the drop springs.

Do you have any pics you can post?
