Front Shock Angle

[nattieleather]

Hey everyone. I was wondering if someone with an M880 (M882) truck could put and angle gauge on the front shocks to give me the angle degree of the shocks. From what I can see they are about 80-85 degrees but I'd like to have a confirmation. I'm installing the front axle from and M882 into another truck and want to use the same shock angle as the stock Dodge used. Thanks.

Can't help on a measurement but a general rule is to put the shock as close to the tire as possible and to put it close to direction of travel (vertical).
