driveline angle shims
« on: Apr 19, 2008, 07:49:30 PM »
I am thinking of ordering shims from 4crawler that go inbetween the axle and leaf pack to help correct my drivline angles. i have marlin 4" springs in rear and yj springs up front, all have 5.5"shackles. I was wondering if any of you have used shims with around this much lift and what degree you used. thank you for any input

I don't like the shims since I've seen them spit out before.  It's best to weld your perches on at the right angle instead. 

Are you running a CV shaft or standard?
