when the spring is fully compressed the angle should be around 20 degrees off horizontal and at ride height it should be around 50 degrees from horizontal. |

Whoaaaa wtf is that!! Looks like a 2inch rear up the front with only the rear hanger holes drilled back a bit with a stock shackle. From my calculations and actual setup, you don't want the shackle angle no less than ~13-15degrees fully loaded. Otherwise it will unload the shackle (force becoming pure horizontal and not vertical). |

EFS or some other long 2inch rear? Then push your rear back 35mm no less! You want you eye-eye center-line to be 990mm no less! This will give you 5-10mm more spacing than the stock rear (depending on what yours measures to 980-985). Why a bit more than the stock rear spacing? Simply put, the longest aftermarket spring for the rear (EFS) is borderline too long for the stock rear spacing anyway. Have a read here http://www.auszookers.com/index.php?nam ... ic&t=20709 And my build thread for more info |
