Bob rear saddle wedge.

[Floridianson]

OK im loosing it so refresh me. On the bobber rear top saddle wedge goes with the taper getting larger to to rear of the truck so it will twist the input up a bit to decrease drive line angle? Thanks

No I think you'd want it towards the front of the truck. My truck has flat lift blocks in it and could use a wedge to clock the front of the differential down.

Check your drive line angles with wedge both ways to see what way gives you the correct angle.

Last time I did it I checked both ways and used Deuce front springs just like this time. It is so much easer if you know which way to begin with. I hate getting old.

At least your getting old in a warm climate ! Out here in the NW I can feel the cold rain seep into my bones ! and now summer is almost over! My bones are aching just thinking about it ! I hear Texas is a nice place to live .

I would leave Floridia in a heart beat but I have to get rid of all the green steel first. Did sell one this week and he wants to bob but I don't rember which way the saddle goes. I also forgot who I sold the last Deuce bobber to so if I get worse someone shoot me. I will put on some deer antlers and we will call it a hunting accident.

Come on guys and girls help the old man out. Last time I used Deuce front springs and it's saddles and 105 bed.
I will go with LT. Dans thoughts if no one chimes in and rembers what they did. Thanks.

 

[Floridianson]

Thank you Lt. Dan you were correct the heavy edge goes forward to cock the axle down. Why did I doubt you?

 

[Lieutenant Dan]

No problem. .... I haven't had any problems with mine yet but I should put a wedge in it to correct the angle.

 

[Floridianson]

It's the angel of the dangel that is very important to some.

I'd be interested in what you find. I know for my truck, granted it has an extended drive line, the angle was way out of alignment and still is to an extent. I have to modify the perch to get the angle back into the optimal 1-2*. I think I have 5* on the farthest back joint going into the axle.

I don't know what I found but I will only use Deuce springs and hardware over the 105 springs. When set correct the Deuce upper perch with the taper up going forward to the cab to cock the axle down will give you just about a straight drive line angle. I forget how many inches I added to the drive line but I did use the 105 bed and it is set about one inch from the cab. I sold the truck so I am at a loss for my figures.
