52's vs 56's

[nerraw117]

i know this has been gone over many times. but i got different questions. does 56's in rear affect pinion angle bad? i haven't put on my perches but i have 52s in rear now and wasnt going to do 56's for awhile so I was trying to guess on where to put the perches. are 56's too scary on the front of a truck that gets driven to trails? and whats most people running to make about 6 or 7 inches of lift out of them? anyone got link to 2 inch lift 52s and 56's? but that might defeat the purpose by killing flex? thanks guys. now since im broke all i have to do is plan.

56's won't change your pinion angle. Your pinion angle is set by your shackle flip and shackle setup (or the stock shackle bracket and shackle).

Stock 56's generally produce 4" more lift in the front than the stock front springs. If you want 6-7" you need 2-3" lift springs.

If you have good shocks that are mounted correctly they aren't too bad on the road.
