I have installed a 4in kit. Welded perches and installed springs and everything has gone smoothly so far.
The question I have is, I want to avoid (if I can)grinding off the old and welding the new axle perches. I have read a little on shims or wedges and saw them on 4crawler.
With my dual case it looks to me like my current problem would be finding a shim.
The angle my pinion is at is 6 degrees. But it looks like the drive line angle is going to be more like 22 degrees.
so If i am calculating this correctly it looks like I am gonna need about 14 degrees, taking into effect the 2 degrees I want to keep.
14 degrees seems way to much to shim.
Am I looking at grinding and welding the new perches after all?
