Post by astroshepawd »

Shep, forgive my ignorance, but are these shims for the rear axle?

Hi Rob, yes they are. I have had a vibration at speed ever since the lift kit installation, nothing serious but noticeable. Until now I thought it was perhaps just the tyres until reading some posts on here.
I have always known that u/j's hate obscure angles to run at, not that I would have thought the slight raise of 4" would have made much difference. But it obviously does, so to correct the diff - prop angle makes a lot of sence.
I have mailed Advance Auto (thanks CF) and also spied that Dan at Overland has them..figures really!!!!
So whoever can get them shipped to the UK gets the sale.
Thanks,

Shep, not to steal Darren's thunder and all, but if you need them shipped to you give me a yell.
