Acardiel11 Posted October 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 195/50/15s? I thought about going with a lower sidewall it didn't want to throw off the final drive ratios but so much. Looks good, now you just need to lower a bit more (aesthetically, the gap between the tire & fender should be half the sidewall height). if I were to lower it to that gap, I'm afraid my fender will hit over any bump. My suspension is pretty soft 1 Quote Link to comment

Thanks. . Hey, can you tell me more about the Carpet Kit? How bad was the fit? Is there any obvious areas that it did not cover? Thanks. . Surprisingly it fit pretty good. From door to door I cut off maybe a inch and a half or so. From the fire wall to the seat bracket on the floor I had to trim a few inches off. From the seat bracket on the floor to the wall of the cab, I used head liner for the carpet. Everything is covered and no parts of the floor are showing. 1 Quote Link to comment

Charlie69 Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 Angle should be same at each end. http://www.quickperformance.com/Pinion-Angle-Measurement_ep_45.html If you have not replaced the center support bearing rubber it probably needs it. 2 Quote Link to comment
G-Duax Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 Be careful of what center bearing you buy. Got one from Rock Auto that didn't have a sealed bearing, just a shielded bearing. Shielded bearings will not keep water out ! Sent that crap back, and found one with real seals. When you look at the bearing, if you can't see any rubber seal, just metal, it's shielded bearing. I also had to put 1" spacers under the bearing to help straiten the shaft out, as I had a pretty serious angle at the center bearing universal. 1 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 Rule of thumb when lowering a Datsun truck is for every inch of drop ad 1/4" spacer under the carrier bearing support. 1" drop = 1/4" spacer 2" drop = 1/2" spacer 3" drop = 3/4" spacer 4" drop = 1" spacer A factor that can change the amount of spacing used is outside tire diameter. If your driveline has too little angle after lowering it can cause the u joints to bind and at 50 miles per hour something has to give usually resulting in a badly twisted and thrown drive line which may or may not bust the tail shaft of your tranny. Throwing a driveline on a freeway can be very dangerous. When ever doing a mod to a vehicle always research the pros and the cons of similar mods to get as much information as you can. 2 Quote Link to comment

Are you referring to thr problem I had with the transmission or just from lowering it? Quote Link to comment
Acardiel11 Posted September 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 I need your guys opinion on this one. My buddy has a buddy that's selling KA. Not sure just yet what it came out of or how many miles but he's selling it for $300. Here's some pictures. Maybe you guys can give me some more info on it or if it needs anything else.
