Well I'm 3 linking the front and running 14" shocks up front with ether 3.5" or 4" up travel and 10.5" or 10" down travel...I'll be putting in 16's when I run across some but for now I'm stuck with 14's up front.

And putting in the 52" chevy springs with flex joints for the rear...everyone tells me the 52's flex like crazy but I dunno.

I want to get a idea of how much flex I'll be getting with this setup.. My guess is alot as long as my links&steering don't bind up.

On the front you will probably run into driveshaft angle bind with that much droop.
A high pinion diff. and a driveshaft from High Angle Drivline will help.

The dana60 is a HP...and I might get the offset ujoint from tom woods..
Problem with that is both ujoints are 1310-1350 conversion joints lol

I would like to put the CV back on the front but don't they hit the tranny with a 205?
