can someone explain how/why these work better than stock on a stock hieght vehicle?
sorry I am clueless..............

Thanks.

They don't. The crank compensates for the axle 'roll' as the springs are lifted. The axle is held in one plane by the trailing arms, but when it's forced away from the chassis by longer springs it has to rotate about the point at which it's held, so making the spring seats change angle. The cranked arm negates the roll by turning the axle by a similar amount to the roll angle ..
hence a 2" lift needs a 3 degree crank bend, a 4" lift needs a 6 degree bend etc .. 'roughly' ..
Paul apologies if I'm wrong but is that not only for the front to deal with caster correction on the swivels?
oops, you're right, of course, apologies to Natas, didn't mean to mislead you.
Boris has the right of it .. for the rear, I explained the fronts!!!
Just call me a feckwit ...![]()
Now I don't know if I'm right (just a guess) but if you had +2 shocks on, woul it benefit then as the axle has more articulation???
Yes. But without +2 springs on, there's the possibility that the standard length springs could be pulled out of their seats by the axle movement, hence the need for matching systems and/or dislocation cones to re-locate the sprinhs when the axle resumes the horizontal ..
.. didn't mean you had to ... :laugh:

That must be it as I am also getting dislocation cones.....????
I am getting what Mr. Lewis suggested.
