Default Axle Angle

Month or so ago I broke a front axle because the truck is lifted 4 or so inches. So last weekend I removed the 4in leaf block and cranked the torsion bars down as far as they would go (about 2 inches)

So how does the angle look now?

Looks good for cv shaft angle, thats prolly close to stock angle on most 4WD trucks.

Awesome so then I should be good to 4x4 launch!!!

Rear is sitting way to low but I think I have a set of Kartek drop hangers laying around that will give it a little bit of a butt lift.
