Hello everyone, new to the forum!.
Anyways, i just recently bought a chevy k10.
It's somewhat of a project, but nothing too bad.
I am planning to do an 8 inch lift in the next couple months. The truck came with a hideous and unsafe 6 inch body lift and an undisclosed suspension lift in order to fit the 39 inch tires.
Ill finally get to the point here, im unsure of which lift I am going to go with, but am confused about the front axle pinion angle.
If the kit comes with preshimmed springs, or if i have to add shims to get the correct pinion angle, wont my caster be extremely off? Id like to keep away from cutting the axle and turning the steering knuckles if possible. If anyone has an 8 inch lift thay can comment it would be greatly appreciated.
P.s. i am also planning to swap to a 3/4 ton 14 bolt axle so i don't slay shafts with 39 inch tires.
Thanks everybody!
