Shims with 52's + Zero Rates

[trollporter]

I searched but couldn't quite find what I was looking for. I plan on running stock 52's up front with overloads and zero rate moving the axle up 1.5". What shims are you running or suggest with this set up.

thanks, troy

Surely I'm not the only one to ever try this in the history of ck5.

i was going to do this when i put my zero rates in my front of my truck. instead of using a shim then the zero rate, i was thinking about having a machine shop mill a certain degree into the zero rate for strength...hope this helps

Are you sure you'll have enough clearance for the draglink over the spring packs? I'm running 56s minus 2 leaves and the overload. Room was somewhat tight. Just something to think about.

this is why i didnt pursue the idea because the more of an angle you put on it the more it rotates your draglink & tierod into the front of your spring. You just would have to look at it and try to picture it and/or try it.

i just didnt do it b/c i had just bought new u-bolts and im lazy
