Problem Just About Solved.

Well I posted a question about shims since I lowered the rear with the DJM shackles Here is the thread on that is titled Shims...........

It would really be nice to have some kind of instructions.. The friggin Drive shaft ended up out of the trans while doing the job. I was trying to do one side at a time.. Well I got them in and got the drive shaft back in what a PITA that was..

LEft for work lastnight and the thing vibrated like a big ass porn star dildo..

I turned around and parked the truck jumped in the car..

Well after I got home I tore back into it.. Since I had a noise at highway speeds when I let on and off the gas I figured I needed them.. SO I did not want to take them out all together.. I turned them around so the flatter part was facing the front of the truck. Bolted everything back up. Went for a ride down the interstate and there is No vibration and the noise I had is darn near gone.. Maybe the 6* shim will take it out all the way???? Any thoughts??? (I put the 4* on)

Thanks to all the posted in the other thread but for some reason with lowering the rear only 2" I had to put the fat part of the shim to the rear not the front like posted before.

One more thing.. I found a easy way to hold the shim in place while you use the jack to get the axle back up to it.. I used small ass zip ties to hold it on the spring and it worked like a charm.

It would help to have a extra person there if your going to put them on. The bolts they came with was about 3 inches too long.. I ended up cutting them down. My truck does not have the Blocks that was mentioned in the other thread.. It goed from azle to spring.. No block in there at all. There is a flat plate welded to the axle that rests on the spring and the bolt rests in it also.. I am guessing that the bolts was so long for them trucks that have blocks..

SInce I don't have any blocks between the spring and axle should I have some??????????? Or are the 07 classics different?
