The vibes I got is very very minimal. That why I thought a shim would be sufficient.

A shim to make the angle in the rear less with a conventional drive shaft likely will make the vibe worse. The reason is because a U-joint does not transfer rotational speed linear way. The center section is constantly speeding up and slowing a tiny amount even though both the xfercase and differential are constant. It's like 2 wrongs make a right. This could get really long so I'll just stop there. But what you want is either setup shown in the diagram on the previous page, not part of each setup.

My 3.5" pro comp leaves came with a 5°? shim. Tcase drop fixed my vibes.

Id say that a tcase drop is your best bet until you get an sye and front driveshaft. Which you should.

Obviously. I just figured I'd post in the lift thread to increase the odds.

This ain't the place for it, bud. You're asking an international forum. Try the For Sale section and Craigslist.

You're going to have to be a bit more precise...

How much do you want to spend?

We need to know what you consider affordable.
