No shackles just a 3" add a leaf. I will go measure angles and see what I come up with. I was confused because a friend of mine told me that I should use shims to try and get the drive shaft and pinion yoke at the same angle so I just got finished installing 6* shims this weekend and acompllished just that, but it made my vibes worse so I came to the forum. Thanks for the help and sorry for the trouble.
Take pictures, that will help a LOT.
Is the pinion yoke pointing at the t-case output?

I've got another question with the SYE.
I put in the Iron Rock Offroad Hack n Tap sye when I did my lift. And it got rid of the vibration and it's fine now. Since I have this does that mean I can go higher without having to worry about the driveshaft anymore?

Has anyone installed the rc 1.5 -2 " shackle? I just got mine, it came with four bolts, a metal sleeve, and four poly gromets. My questions are what do I do about the top bolt? The nut is welded in but the kit came with 4 bolts and 4 nuts....
Other one is does the metal sleeve go in the poly or down below?

hmm, you shouldn't need to adjust the rear up or down much at all, i've got 5 inches of lift with no vibes. Have you checked the U-joints, mine were vibing bad, changed them, no vibes. I didn't read through this thread so i don't know if you have canceled that out yet. Just throwing something out there, but that looks like its way to far up. mine is nowhere near that
