In researching and reading this and other sites I have learned lots in the past few weeks. I have also realized that the more I laarn, the more questions I have. Here are a few. thanks in advance.
Regarding the ford 9" axle
1) What is a "shaved 9" .
2) Does the "high 9" offer any advantages if you only have 1-3 inches of lift?
3) Is it common to "tilt" the rear differential upwards to get a more friendly angle between the transmission and third member yoke? Is there a problem with proper lubrication when this is done? Is movement of the spring perches all that is involved?
4)Why are leaf springs so much more popular with jeeps than coilovers? Im mostly referring to buildups, not stock setups.
more to come later. thanks
