Adjusting 8.25 shock mounts...

boomhauer · Jul 3, 2009

After adjusting the 8.25 pinion angle it's finally time to address the diff shock mounts to bring them back to stock locations. Only problem is i don't know what the stock angles should be. Anyone know the answer so i can correct the angles and beef up the weak looking mounts or should i just eye-ball 'em? Thanks for your help and suggestions. -B

How much have you shimmed the axle? I think the stock mounts work fine for any thing between 4* and stock...
