Really?

I thought the YJ was the same XJ that has a double cardan up front.

I realized after by reading another of his threads that he has longer
shackles and needs wedges for that abortion.

I did figure it out from bills statement and website.
More people kept telling me to tilt it up than keep it level.... But no
one knew what type of driveshaft was there. some thought there was a cv
stock, which is not true on my jeep.
Anyway, I originally hoped someone who had actually installed the kit would
have responded but I figured it out by knocking my head on the bumper. The
final tally, is that with the new springs, the pinion wanted to tilt up.
Therefore, placing the thick part of the wedge in the front of the axle,
caused it to tilt more level, like the transfer case. Which is correct
given the driveshaft I have. Some advice I received was incorrect, but
would be seen as correct if it was an axle over install, but it is not. I
do appreciate everyone's in put though. I had done some research prior,
but couldn't find the website bill had posted for me before.
All is well so far. A couple of minor issues, still can't get the pitman
arm off, and the new drag link adapter bar isn't quite lining up like it
should. Gonna work on that a bit next weekend.
thanks everyone!!

interesting about the wedges in the rear, rubicon didn't supply any wedges
for the rear. The instructions were very poor in that area. Alls they
stated were, here are the shimms, use them or not, make sure the pin
doesn't hit the axle if you don't use them. Oh well.
