Re: angle wedge on Rubicon lift
Bill, would you stop with the wrong advice please. Without a CV
driveshaft, he should NOT tilt the pinion shaft up towards the transfer
case, the pinion shaft must be PARALLEL to the t-case output shaft.
Only AFTER installing a CV driveshaft, which he is not doing, would your
recommendation be correct.

He has a YJ, which doesn;t have a double cardan up front unless he's added
one. The angle wedges he's refering to come with the Rubicon 4.5" Extreme
Duty kit and are to compensate for the kits' 1" longer shackles. There's
another set included in the kit, to be used out back.

Re: angle wedge on Rubicon lift
This confusion stems from Rubicon;s poor installation instructions, which
are not clear at all on several points. 1) The Springs mount with the
military wrap ends on the spring hangers, 2) the second set of shims are
installed on the front end to restore caster lost to the kit's longer
shackles. As I mentioned in an earlier response, for safety's sake Robb
should get some steel shims for the front at least.
