XJ shim amount

[jpthing]

The last set of RE's I used were aluminum.

Second week the guy had them in the split and proceeded to walk the axle off the leaf.


Depends on how you wheel though. If you arent going to wheel that hard, they woud probably be fine.

Between that, and the fact that with xj's shtty suspension bias, the rear doesnt move much, you might be alright.

Personally, I wont put them in for people, thats just me.  What ever you do, dont forget to re torque your ubolts.

Aluminium?!! That's just not right...the RE ones I got were steel...I don't think I'd trust the Alu ones too far either.

I talked with the guys at Modern and they figure my vibe is the front because of the 242 tcase & it's drop actually buggered my front geometry.  My current measurements are perfect. The diff is 1deg down from the tcase. Im pulling the front drivehaft and taking it for a run. If my vibe is gone. Well back to the drawing board. Remove the tcase drop. Re measure and shim the rear.  

However they say there is no SYE for a 242 except doing the hack & tap. Odd as I got a quote from J on a full blown sye kit for the 242.

Think I just came up with a name for my XJ.   "Ned".  Needs Every Dollar.  

You can get a SYE for a 242, bought a cherokee with about 6'' of lift that came with one on it.  Have you tried looking on quadratec.com?

Steel are no better. They still spit out on a regular basis as well.

You should never trust any degree shim regardless of what its made of.
