shims
Where do you get em? Autozone has 2 1/2 x 4 degree shims and 6 degree but nothing else and it costs $24 for two. I've been hearing they only costs about $10 so where do you get those?
I just installed 2" RC rear springs and got vibes.

I put 2" in the rear of mine and got some vibes. Instead of shims, I used a t-case drop. Vibes are gone and I am happy. If you do a t-case drop - SOAK YOUR BOLTS IN PB BLASTER! I broke one of them and spent the next day drilling and tapping it out.

Thanks for the tip ecksjay. I haven't broken a single bolt on the jeep yet, which is a total shocker. My tj averaged 2.8 bbpws (broken-bolts-per-wrenching-session) so i was expecting some curse words from the xj but nothing so far. Now that i said this, i will probably break all four

Thanks kyle. It seems that when i can't find anything, jeepinoutfitters has it. I saved their website right in the mdidle of my desktop so next time that's the first place i will look. I could prob build a jeep from scratch using only what jeepinoutfitters sells.

Just FYI we are lucky enough to have Jason as a member on our site his username is "Jason Jeepin". He is an extremely knowledgeable jeeper and we are very lucky to have him as a part of CF.

if running a conventional driveshaft your pinion yoke must be parrallell to your t-case yoke within 1 degree for no vibrations.
if running a cv driveshaft you want the t-case yoke perfectly flat and the rear axle shimmed up towards the t-case.
