You want to tilt the pinion up towards the transfer, but there's a
limit if you don't have the new driveshafts with constant velocity

"probably" with the wedge to the front to bring the pinion up. Most of
the lift springs tend to point the pinion down. You want the pinion to
be PARALLEL to the trnsfercase shaft. Use a carpenter square on the
pinion and another one on the back end of the transfer case to get close
to optimum. Have one person hold the two squares in place, have a buddy
eyeball from the side. It's really obvious from the side, you can't even
tell from underneath.
