Re: YJ axle shims
Think of it this way.... If your pinion is angled up and you were to turn
your axle to rotate it back down, where would that leave the biggest gap?
For the front, put the fat side to the front of the Jeep. On the back, put
the fat side to the back of the Jeep.
Now if it has an SOA it would be opposite.

Yes, but, with your lift, you may not be able to get the full three
degrees without throwing pinion angle too far down to safely use the
U-Joint.

That is what we both said....
But it goes in the rear of the rear to get the rear pinion back to specs
too.
Otherwise you will eat rear driveshaft u-joints 'fast'.

Oh, also figure on retorquing the u bolts a week after the job. They
'will' come loose unless you use an impact gun and really over torque
them the first shot, but even then it is worth a recheck.
I helped Norm Mitchell from this group do a spring lift and we torqued
everything properly. He didn't do a retorque and a few weeks later we
found him lost in the bush 25 miles from the nearest house with his
driveshaft laying on the ground because the springs came loose, the
center pin sheared, the springs all shifted and the axle shifted back.
He got lucky, he heard one of us, 'mad Jo' on her boosted all to crap CB
in the middle of a 10 Day RAMJ+W newsgroup run. She tagged him and the
other 7 of us ------ out on the trails trying to pick him up on our
regular CB's. One guy, Steve Seppala tagged him due east, so we all
headed that way while Jo sat on hill relaying the messages.

Oh, also figure on retorquing the u bolts a week after the job. They
'will' come loose unless you use an impact gun and really over torque
them the first shot, but even then it is worth a recheck.
I helped Norm Mitchell from this group do a spring lift and we torqued
everything properly. He didn't do a retorque and a few weeks later we
found him lost in the bush 25 miles from the nearest house with his
driveshaft laying on the ground because the springs came loose, the
center pin sheared, the springs all shifted and the axle shifted back.
He got lucky, he heard one of us, 'mad Jo' on her boosted all to crap CB
in the middle of a 10 Day RAMJ+W newsgroup run. She tagged him and the
other 7 of us ------ out on the trails trying to pick him up on our
regular CB's. One guy, Steve Seppala tagged him due east, so we all
headed that way while Jo sat on hill relaying the messages.
