Default angle wedge on Rubicon lift

Bill, would you stop with the wrong advice please. Without a CV
driveshaft, he should NOT tilt the pinion shaft up towards the
transfer
case, the pinion shaft must be PARALLEL to the t-case output shaft.
Only AFTER installing a CV driveshaft, which he is not doing, would
your
recommendation be correct.

It all depends on if the transfer case has been lowered. In which
case the pinion should be tilted up a bit to match the TC drop.
