Re: angle wedge on Rubicon lift
That happens, but having 3 or 4 threads going on about the same thing
can be bad news. Folks are giving you bad advice because they don't
know what you are asking or have figured out in one of the other
threads.
Your front driveshaft already has a CV or 'double cardan' joint so the
diff is supposed to point straight at it with the weight of the Jeep on
the springs but depending on how high you are, this can really wreck the
front end alignment so you need a compromise.
I think the wedges are to line up the steering, not the driveshaft now
that you posted about longer shackles I 'think' I saw in one of the
threads???

Re: angle wedge on Rubicon lift
well, the kit comes with longer shackles. I see from your advice and bills
I need to point the pinion up because I have a cv in the front. The Shims
are aluminum, and someone else had a good point to go to steel, and the
caster thing too. I think I will install it one way, set her down and see
where I am at. get her as close as I can, Then take it from there. It is a
build in progress, and haven't done the slip yoke yet, so I may just take
it down to the local 4X4 shop/alignment, and have them get it perfect for
me..... I think I have a headache now...;)
