this may be an odd question but why do you need the shims for the rear end?

:toothy4: PICTURES???

 

[Mark]

We have a butt load of pictures. Guess who took them all? USMC has em! You think i wanted to stop to take the time to snap some photos? I just wanted to get it all done and amke sure it was right!

I need shims in the rear end to correct the angle of the drive shaft. I have a little vibration between 35 and 40 mph. USMC has photos of that too.

i DO HAVE THIS TO SAY. It was fricking awesome to stand next to the open door when i was done! The bottom of the truck now comes up to my knee. Its just sweet now. More like a truck now, got rid of the mini van feel i had.

Would ya believe we ran into zero problems and it only took us like 3 hours to do the whole damn thing?!!!

 

[usmc xterra]

Yea, If you didn't let Turtle play with your nuts so long. MC

 

[Mark]

Well he did end up stripping my nuts. My nuts didnt fit, he tried to force then and his bolt ended up breaking.

But the funniest line of the month, (While holding a 3/8 drive with a universal and after loosening a nut in a tough - hard to get to spot. He looks in amazement at the tool and says "This thing is like a dick with a knuckle!" You may have had to be there but we were laughing about it hours later. MC

[Erick]

LMAO...Even reading that, that is freaking hilarious...

Top of the day................buy the bolts needed to allign your Xterra now. All of you will need them at one time or another.

 

[usmc xterra]

Well, at least if you don't have em already, Uh, but I bet they can wear out huh?

Ok I just got back from Spring shop.
Here is what I learn, In no way, should you ever expect to lift and not have to adjust the Angle of the rear end to the drive shaft. It will always tilt with a lift and it is always better to off set the tilt with shims or proper size. Why Calmini, AC, PRG or anyone does not include the shims is beyond me. Maybe they think you will like to hear your teeth rattle?

By chance if you want to try it like we did, Because "He" said we did not need shims (You seen the above pictures, it don't take a rocket scientist)
To correct the mistake you will need new U bolts, Center pins, Center pin spacers (To allow for shim) 3 degree Shims, and all the time to re do it all! Have fun! We will soon.

By trying it, you will trash the U bolts (Ya know you can't re use them) You will trash the center pins, and, you will still need the shims, 24 Each set.

Pretty expensive mistake I'd say. Lets see, about $75 Bucks to re do Plus the time, (Pay yourself 2 hours what you are worth) and there ya go!

However, had we had the spacers, and just put em in it would have cost us $24 and no time. And, it would have been right 1st time!

Warreen Spring is thinking of taking mine in, making a set of springs that fit right, look right (Length wise) fit right and lift it right. And offer it for sale for DIY install On your X kit to come with 2 leafs, Center Pins and Center pin spacers, New U bolts and SHIMS and directions. You keep your shackles and your overload intact. Who is game? Say about $200 we have yet to work up the springs, going to take some time to get it just right. Answer up in Suspension thread! MC
