ttb pivot bracket questions
ok so i have a spare set of factory ttb brackets and id like to modify them for 3 inches of lift. so my question is how far should i move the mounting hole down from the factory location to achieve this. these will only be temporary till i get some money together for cut and turned beams.

I'm just a simple caveman, but wouldn't you need to drop the pivot point by the same as the lift? If you want to keep your camber stock you need to leave the entire beam where it was as the rest of the truck goes up. Now given that 3" lift springs don't necessarily give 3" of lift I see the benefit in tjc's advice. But it sure seems to be that you need to drop the pivot point the same amount as the springs are longer (when loaded).
