Curious how far you cranked them that lost that much travel... And if you did crank 'em for more than an inch or 1.5" of lift, what're those CV angles like? They'd have to be awful...

 

I have them cranked about 2.5" no biding at all.
The cv's arent that bad.

 

Would you do me a favor and measure that angle on those CV's? I'm just curious...

You measure from the axle bar to the centerline of the CV outer race...

It's a bit hard to explain which angle I want, I want the angle between the plane the axle bar is in to the plane the cv is in... The angle will be under 90º...

 

I don't no what your saying.
here is a pic

 

try this

 

Thanks, sea squirrel..

Yep, what she said...

 

3.5"

 

i believe the angle will be emasured in degrees.

 

Im still in high scool, And I don't no how to that stuff?

 

Ok Timmy, I imported the pic into autocad and measured the angle and got 15 degrees.

cool
your good man

 

You also don't know how to spell know, and tend to leave entire words out of sentences, but I won't go there

. Ooops, too late...

 

Thanks Jason. I always thought that a crank up like that would cause more severe angles right away. I might have to change my way of thinkin' a little. WIll have to see more examples...

Is a sad state of affairs though when they no longer teach things like how to use a protractor in high school...

 

no kiddin'....an angle, what's that? is that that flying ghost thing that wears a halo????

 

I don't now the degrees and stuff. I know the acut, right and obtuse stuff though.

But I cannot find out how many deg my CV's are buy mesuring.

 

use a flat edge...or string or something...then put the protractor on the flat edge...then, mark the angle of the cv joint on the protractor numbers(degrees)

 

I don't got no protractor.
only use them at shcool

 

ten use trig functions. you should be able to use sin, cos, tan and the arcsin, arctan, and arccos funstions to come up with it using the lengths that nca be measured. you do got a measuring stick right? or maybe they just haev those at school too?

 

i was just thinking about that too...protractor, we don't need no stinkin' protractor!

a ruler would work just fine.

 

damnit shorts..do you want grades like mine? pen the bloody book and learn something.

 

Ok
it is 15 deg like willy said

 

Some times some people make an idiot like me feel smart.
Whats that majic number that you are supost to keep you cv shafts under?

 

Magic angle you want to stay under is approx. 25º. on a normal basis.

I have to ask, does this truck have a suspension lift? I think it does? If it does that's how you've managed to keep excessive CV angles at bay while crankin' those bars 2.5"...

 

It has a 5" superlift raised to about 7-7.5" + 3" body
Im shure the bodylift helper the angles some too.

lol

 

Der, uh, only way the body lift helped was keeping you from cranking those bars another 3"
