No but you might have to run castor correction shims

the vendor:CCOT make no mention of this shims .I never heard about castor correction shims...where they go? between spring's leafs?

Thanks in advance.

between springs and axle.

Remember you're only getting half the shackle length in lift - so if you run 2.5" longer shackles you get 1.25" of lift.

I have the 2.5" on my 76 and you WILL need the caster shims. Mine drives great, but if I flat tow it, the caster issue raises its ugly head. Go with the 6 degree shims.
