RTE Trailing arms

[KngTgr]

I have RTE angle corrected trailing arms on my 95 along with a 3" springs and shocks, getting ready to transfer them the the 98, if I went with 2"springs and shocks can I still use the angle corrected trailing arms?

yes - you'll have a little more castor than stock and a little more angle between front diff pinion and the t-case.
I have 3.5-deg-corrected swivel balls on my truck with about 2" of lift in front, no problems.

I think he's talking about the rear unless he just typed it wrong.

Anyway, same answer applies except no castor issues. Just need to shim correctly for pinion angle.

Correct, I meant the rear links

But I also have the corrected radius arms

Would it be better/easier to just go with the old 3 " springs?

How long do they last?
