alright guys when i put my 6.5 kit on in december i had a driveline vibe at around 75mph. i also installed 4 degree shims when i installed the lift along with a rear cv driveshaft approximately 32 or 33 inchs in length.
now that i have regeared my jeep to 4.56s 2 months ago my vibe starts at 65mph and just gets worse the faster i go. it was suggested that i remove the shims and run the jeep down the highway and see how it does.
how many time can i safely reuse the u-bolts i installed new ones when i did the new lift.
so should i A remove the shims and see how it does, B switch to a 3 degree shim or C try a 6 degree shim??? by the way i am running an 8.25 rear.

honestly you shouldn't worry about taking them off and putting them on a couple times. If you are doing it more than three times though I would just get a new set and keep it on hand.
You want angle to be at or slightly below 0*. So whichever shims will get you to that point. If there's vibes still then I'd wonder about yoke on diff, or bearings maybe..
