Angle wedge for lowering blocks... helps u-joint?

[hydroxy]

Ok, I just stumbled upon this thread on another side... the guy talks about angle wedges to decrease the wear on the U-Joint when you install lowering blocks... Anyone hear of these before or know where to get them?

How wide are the explorer's leaf springs? I would go outside and measure... but my ex is parked a lil over a mile away =P

Alec: I was looking for explorer specific specs =P I guess I was a little too vauge in my original post.

Sport = 3" wide
4 door = 2.5" wide

Unless you go up more than 4" or down more than 2" you shouldn't need to worry about pinion angle.
