Re: 1986 C10 Rear Suspension with some Power
From responses in other treads here, they suggest that using the longer shackle/ hanger, introduces rear steer into truck handling. This is because of flex in the new part, not being fixed like factory set-up. The flex is the rear axle moving around under hard loading.
I plan to do some 1/4 mile drag racing, therefor, loading the rear hard and do not want axle rotating under high torque launch loads, and steering truck in a non straight direction. A well set-up 10 sec drag vehicle should be able to be driven down track with very little steering effort. Drag radial slicks at 25 or more psi ( which you can hook-up with properly set up 10 sec vehicle) make driving 1/4 mile trips capable with a lot less effort.
