"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.

But if I put the wedge in the front(thick part forward) wouldn't this cause
the pinion to point down? I'm confused now.

only if youve already done an SOA lift. if your springs are under your
axle, the thick part in front will raise your pinion. if your springs are
over your axle, thick part in the front would lower your pinion.
