i dunno about 4.5 now... i think i want to go 5...

this is the overall stance im going for...

xjknut11

well whatever you do, if Im in town I shall be there to help align your driveshafts and all that ****....seems like I always get stuck doing it for my buddies

jakbob

well i can do that... but you are more than welcome to come and help... i might not have the same tools you do... but i refuse to work suspension alone... safety issue for me...

What do you mean by align driveshafts? Is that setting the pinion angle?

jakbob

thats what im assuming...

xjknut11

yeah pinion angles and ubolts... and also my buddies all seem to be good with everything but suspensions so they have trouble aligning the bolts for the control arms (i get my side done and then have to do theirs but by then the new beefy spring has nearly twisted everything up.)

I'm going to put on my new lowers on Friday since I'll be off. Hopefully it won't be that bad. I'll be on a lift and have a trans jack to help align everything.

My new driveshaft won't be in until next week, so once it gets here I'll figure out if the 4 degree shim I put in the back will be all that I need. I'm hoping I don't have to change it.

If anything you'll be slightly off to the point where it wont matter a bit. but who knows with a jeep...they don't work the way you think.

HA! I love it... that is too funny

And on that note, I broke two yesterday... So will be trying to find some and get them in there. So after working all night, we decided to take the 96 to the shop and get a jump on the work...It is a pain to say the least. Going back today if anyone is in town you are more than welcome to stop by.
We are at the auto shop on Detrick. They are open till 7pm or so...long day.

I just did my rear shocks on the shop over at Meade and the broken bolts only added 20 minutes to the job. 5 min to walk to counter, get air chisel, break off heads and return chisel then 15 more minutes to wrap wire around new bolts and feed it through.

I'd help but I work 5 to 5 today.

Whats the address? I may stop by after i get off work depends how late im staying today, gotta work longer to be off tomorrow and still have a decent check

Brian looking at your driveline the other day before we took the rear driveshaft out, that shim should be perfect for a SYE setup. You want the pinion 2-3 degrees below the driveshaft angle at ride height, which yours looked to be.

You free early saturday morning to finish up my hitch and help with something else?

countrythang

thanks, yeah that is what i am going to have to do as well they are F*****. I appreciate it man, meade is bout an hour and 15min so i understand.

not sure of the exact address...It is super easy to find on Fort Detrick in Frederick. I think they have a website too, i am on my way right now...
I understand man just let me know, I will check back here in just a bit...

I can do Sunday or Monday. I'm celebrating my daughter's birthday until noon on Saturday and then taking her to look at a new dirtbike at the International Motorcycle Show. She wants to upgrade from her CR80 to something with more power!
