You need to use shims to point the pinion directly at the t-case output when you are lunning a Double Cardon Joint.

DO NOT put the t-case drop in.

They get bolted to the leaf springs using a new (RE: LONGER) centering pins. Thick end toward the rear.

Default But..

I have 3in pinion angle blocks between the axle and leaf springs already though. Without them the rear end of my jeep sags quite a bit. The thick end of those are facing the back though. Could i possibly grind them down to a bigger angle to work like larger shims? And thank you for all your help so far!
