ok I have a 14 Bolt I"m fixing to go move the spring perches on. I'm planning on doing a shakle flip when I install this, should I adjust the mounts at all or just go back to the stock angle?
 
i kept mine stock angle due to the fact that once the flip is done it put me right at 2 degrees, dosent get any better than that! /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif the flip will raise the pinion in the front so remember that, unless you will have more than 4" you woulndt want to do that. it'll be fine.
 
I am planning on a shackle flip, add a leaf and zero rate, total of 6" so anyone have an idea hwat I am gonna have to do? Don't want to move perches. Anyone have a good idea of what degree shim I may need?
 
I,m just about ready to re-weld my pearchs on and will go with the stock rotation...but I think we all have a little diff. angle on the drive shafts so fitting and finding the right angle just takes assembly...this is what I'm using for the pearches...
