Here is a pictorial thread on how to shim a Maxx diff:

Hey with those ejector pins, can you put them into the lower front bulk cause wouldn't they rub on the steering turnbuckles?
THANKS!@
I just want to know how many to buy >:)

If you are talking about the ejector pins being used for hinge pins, then yes. I have mine cut flush on both ends so they do not interfer with anything at all. The first set that I cut I left the ball ends on and inserted them from the front. That way there is no possible way for them to come out, because the bumpers keep them in place. When I purchased mine I ordered 8 of the 14" pins so I would have plenty of spares. We do have six SuperMaxx trucks though, plus two stocker trucks. If you are using the RCM Hybrid diff/bulks they will work just fine. I also tapped out the setscrew holes to use a bigger setscrew for holding the pins in place. Those little tiny ones strip out way too easy for my liking.

Ok great to know. So i pretty much have a turbocharged stock truck (allu bulks etc…) without the setscrew thingo will 8 ejector pins be fine to fit 1 truck?
Thank you

You can probably do all four corners with one 14" pin, but for the price I would get a few pins so you have back up spares. They are easy to cut with a Dremal tool using a cutoff wheel. I usually grind a divit into the pins where teh setscrews seat, and then you are good to go.

I just want to know if you know what is better between the straight ejector pins and the through hardened straight pins :O
THANKS~

Most who are using them are getting the through hardened pins. The reason for using these over lets say the Lunsford titanium pins is that they are hardened steel and do not bend. Removing bent pins can be a real PITA. They hold up much better with little wear, and I have yet to hear about anyone breaking them. There is a thread in here some place about them, along with a link to the site where you can order them.

Here they are. http://www.plastixs.com/ep03.html
