Doesn’t look like a whole lotta work, but man it was and it sucked lol. Cut the old brackets off the 8.8 and grinded all the rust/paint away. Then, we shortened it! On these Ford Explorer 8.8’s the pumpkin is offset 3 inches towards the passenger side. So, we cut three inches out of the other side and welded it back together! Now, when we build the new brackets everything will be symmetrical and the driveshaft will go straight down the truck.

New brackets and the beginning of the cantilever system tomorrow… 😎

Have you looked into rear camber and toe? It's not uncommon to put the diff on a big jig and bend the entire housing to the way you want it, so the bend happens at the pumpkin. I'm told they could handle at least half a degree. Never did it myself because I didn't have the money back then.

Oh interesting. Sounds very difficult to get perfectly accurate. I’ll stick with 0 degrees lol

Haven't commented in a while but have been really enjoying all of the drift truck progress! It's going to rip

Most of the articles I've read about drift suspension setup are pretty clear that drift benefits from 0 camber and toe anyway.
