made some shims for the axle to set the yoke at a good angle,and spacers that go in the frame rails where the leaf mounts attach

transfer case mounted..will ad bracing on top..wanted to use stock crossmember but it wouldnt drop the t case low enough to get a good yoke angle from the front as i cant really shim it..too bad its a nice piece
