max pinion angles - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

HEY GUYS,

I just finished a custom yj springs fron and back with a shackles reversal in the front. I am getting some vibrations in the rear and when I droop the front the driveshaft hits the t-case crossmember. I am thinking of raising the pinion angles up(with shims). Anyone know what the maximum angles can be in the front and the back?

Thanks
Chubbs

I run the wranglers in the rear with 4 deg shims the font same but I cut pads off rotated the axle. Fab a bracket to go over your driveshaft that way it dont get inthe way under full droop

For the front driveshaft hitting the crossmember, add a spacer between the t-case and front shaft. I used a 1 inch spacer from Spidertrax on mine. Angle seems fine, too. ~Steve
