my ranger is starting to sag in the rear, the leafs are pretty much sitting flat. so to counter that i went out and bought a set of chevy lowering shackles, but i also want to swap a set of explorer leafs since they're probably stronger, thicker, and will have more arch than my old ones. but im worried that it will throw off my driveline angles and cause problems. also if anybody knows how to measure them with out special tools or what i would need to get it right. thanks:icon_thumby:

the first pinion angle is alway better to be as straight as possible, but if has an angle of minus than 10° deg her should be good
and front, its that I can not exceed the 3 deg (4x4)


We intend to argue there exist The degree shims to
axle shim deg
