5:12 diff gears

Post by SLOGQ »

Hey guys im new but was wondering if anyone could help me? I am about to put 5:12 diff vitara front diff gears into the front diff in my sierra and can remember reading somewhere in this board that you need to shim the crownwheel out so you have enough adjustment to set backlash properly. Can anyone help i am sick of having a 2WD zook!!!
