I just did the 4.5 kit myself and I also have the 1 inch drop. I used 6 degree shims and it made everything pretty close to stock

Try to measure your angles after you get your lift on and then decide I guess. You might not even need them.

It all depends on the leaf spring itself, Some require different shims then others. I also have a 4.5 inch lift but I only needed 2 degree shims. So like stated before just put your lift on then measure it.

Auto...I am not sure what the angle is..its up about 2-3 in the rear over stock now...there is a bastard pack in there.

When I had a tcase drop and no SYE on my 2000 with 4.5in I was using 4degree shims and all was good.
