rear tire off center after djm flip kit

[lildavid]

hey tony how it going. i purchaced a djm flip kit, hangers, 1" lifting shackles (because i didnt want to c-notch) and 2" dropped spindles for my 98 2 door 2wd tahoe. i purchased them in person, not sure if i dealt with u. ( if ur son works for compton recreation, then it was. i work for paramount) anyways, aflter installing everything, the new rear tire location, about 1-2 inches back from on center. i think this is to compensate for the "longer" driveshaft as a result of lowering, am i right? if so, do u sell a saddle that will for the rear end that will center the rear wheels in the wheelwell. i dont mind cutting my driveshaft. the real wheels are bugging me! thanks. please email me .

did you take the leafs out fully when you did this?

only time ive seen this when people pull the leafs out and put them in backwards after a flip.

can you take a picture of both drivers and pass side rear tires so we can see how much its off.

Could he have installed those axle saddles backwards having the "front" hole towards the rear? that will im sure put the rear axle far back. My truck just got the flip kit done. Still need to tweak the pinion angle a hair and find new shocks, but other then that, its done. My tires arnt messed up

idk if i would keep driving it with that problem. maybe a change of the driveshaft coming out on you.. that wouldnt be good.

that could be another thing also. I just want to make sure nothings wrong with the kit.

Lol. No i didnt reinstall the leaf spring backwards.and as far as the saddles, i installed themthem just like the instructions showed, with the off center hole to the front of the vehicle. Last time i was at djm buying the lowered shocks and extenders, jeff i think his name was, told me that the kit intentionally pulls the rear end back one inch in order for the driveshaft not to bottom out in the trans. He also said djm makes asaddle with the positioning hole on center already in the event thatvu decide to make this change.

look at my sig, my rearend didnt move. I had the rear end out for a rebuild, took the leafs out for a rebuild, took the driveshaft out, hangers off and on, shackles off and on. No reason it should of pushed it back.
Post up pictures.. this will help. post up pictures of under your truck as well.
