Axle Shims???

What the hell are those for? I was on the Toytec website and saw them, what are they for ?????

 

Rear axle shims are used to change the pinion angle in order to reduce drivetrain bind. Typically used w/ lifts from 2-3 inches and up.

 

to correct pinion angle of the rear end after a lift. It helps reduce/eliminate driveline vibrations cuased by a lift and incorrect pinion/u joint angles.

or heres a site for you...

On a leaf truck I like having the pinion 1-2* lower. so when you load it it's running at 0*.

 

Shims- Used for lifts 2"-3" and makes the axle have more stability and less 5-10 mph vibration from the driveline and axle

 

Lord, someone needs to write a book, called,"All you need to know about truck lifts."

 

Truck lifts for Dummies

 

Yup. That would be fine with me.

 

Hey, Chris. I believe that was a hint for you to start writing.

 

Chris already did but it has nd's name on it to make nd sound smarter

 

Haha hell I'd buy the book and pay good money for it too lol

 

Actually, toku58 already wrote a lengthy thread on this topic.
