Default RU8 10mm or 20mm?

I remember a thread in the forum stating that according to the book drawings for the rear upright, the driveshafts should be shorthened and the next easier solution was to use a 20mm thick RU8 plate instead.
It took me much time searching for this but with no luck.
Anyone could help? Thanks!

check the dimentions of the rear arms to the the amendment section stickyed in anouncements
the book orignaly had arms that where too short for std sierra shafts so the book was updated
if you made the longer arms you dont need the extra 10mm if you made the shorter type you need the extra 10mm
