needsrepair said:TNT's have three holes for the centering pin. Stock location or 1/2 in back or flip the ube before welding and you can choose the 3rd hole to move the axle back 1 inch. Have it welded if you cant or dont have the equipment. No big deal. I had my gears and locker set up after welding so they could check axle tube straightness.
Gravel Maker said:When you weld them it ends, The adjustment Is for the pinion angle, after you have chosen your axle location front to rear. You would only need the secondary holes if you changed to an odd sized leaf or were experimenting with axle location.
And that way you can avoid shims entirely.
And if you must use blocks you should allways use a wrap bar, you will enjoy the difference.
needsrepair said:No, the 3 holes allow for axle placement. It can be welded on 2 different ways. I set it up in the center hole. Like you say, the pinion angle is set when you weld it. You have to decide when it being installed. Its not practical to cut it all off. I see tnt offers three different heights. The way I put mine on, it can now be loosened up and move the centering pin into the hole thats 1/2 in away from the center hole and the axle will move back 1/2 an inch. If I had flipped the bracket 180 degrees it would allow me to go from centered to moving the axle back 1 inch. It wont change the pinion angle much at all. I will check it when I move mine back. In the tnt link you can see the top plate. It has 3 holes along the center for the centering bolt. 4 other holes near the corners for the clamping bolts.

So are ubolts, but can't say welds are not good enough for anything on the jeep. Only thing where bolting is better, is facing the wife after out all night drinking with buddies at a strip joint.:twak:
