Hello, after ripping a cv boot. I am wondering who made the spacers to lower the differential to help with correcting cv angles. I know someone in here has done it, but can not remember who?
Thanks and I just wanted to say this site rocks.;Db;

Spaceres need to be solid steel, 1 inch thick, 1.5 inches in diameter with a .5 inch hole drilled in the center and you will need six of them. also you will need 6 1 inch longer bolts for the diff case. the inch lowering of the case will decrease the angles in the half shaft, not back to stock, but will take off about 10-15 degrees out ot it. i talked to calmini and they suggest installing their manual locking hubs 129.00 a pair, but i don't think i'm going to do it.
