Re: My Build Thread (year+) on 71 Jimmy 4x4
About time to make some progress.
Rear end was sitting too low for me in relation to the front, and was only going to get worse when the rear seat, spare, cage etc goes in.
Installed a Rough Country add-a-leaf to the pack each side out back as well as a 4deg steel shim to set the yoke angle perfect. Was able to just pull the tires, drop the axle 1 side at a time, unbolt the pack, add the leaf in, add the shim, longer bolt, compress with C-clamp - Walla.
Before and after pics. Added about 2" to the back
