Lowering an LB7

[bubbaburger911]

I am looking into lowering my currently stock height LB7 2-3" using drop shackles in the back and lowering the torsion bars in the front. Does anyone know if it will have any effect on the pinion angle or will i be fine leaving that alone?

If you leave the overload a 2-3" shackle wont hurt pinion angles.

Lowering "usually" only hurts your bump stops.

I removed the overloads & running a 2" drop, pinion angle wasnt great so I added 4 degree shims which gave it a better angle

what effect on height and ride does removing the overload springs have?

Better ride, but 1" lower.

They make degreed shims if you decide you need to adjust your pinion at some point,.

thanks for the help. I am going to try just going with the drop shackles alone first, and if i want it lower I'll give removing the overload springs and installing shims a shot
