Boy was I wrong, I to ok it up to inter state speedway to day just to see How things would go and this thing buzzes live crazy. So my thought process is now to remove the shims and try again. Along with that I am going to pull the drive shaft to inspect the u joints.
It seemed before the shims the vibration was at slow speeds and ok at how ah speeds, now it is just the opposte. Total lift is at about 3 1/4. Inches now, am I missini any thing? Thanks

So today I pulled the axle shims out then proceded to loosen the tranny cross member. i did not have everything to do the TCI drop but I did put about a quarter inch of washers between the cross member and the frame, and yes the vibration is less. So now I have to get everything to do it right. Thanks

Ok, so I put the drop in and that took care of the vibration. Thank you for the advice. Is the tc drop the absolute right thing to do, no. But here in Iowa we only get to do real off-roading about once or twice a year, so it does the trick for now.
Thank you
Russ
