dumb pinion shim question
sorry for the stupid question, but im putting diy4x's e-z blocks (the ones that bolt to the spring pack) for the front. do i put the pinion angle shims between the ez inch and the sping? or between the perch and the ez inch? basically all i want to know is should i put the shim above or below the ez inch? thanks.

Re: dumb pinion shim question
I would put it between the ez inch and the spring perch.
This way the center bolt will tighten up strait.

Re: dumb pinion shim question
Yes on the perch BUTTT if they are aluminum throw them away and get STEEL ones. Especialy for the front. Alum will crack, wiggle out = loose spingpacks up front = scary ride/crash.
I had this happen, lucky for me it was the rear, turned my spingperches into rounded off bent arches but I didn't crash. .025c
