what shims do I need on my 95 with 4.5"s and a 1" t-case drop.
without the drop it vibrates alot
with the drop it doesnt at all so could I add another 1.5"s and put some shims on the rear?

all of this without the SYE.
 
just like every other axle shim question. you will need to play around with it. my guess would be 2*
 
With no SYE the pinion shaft on the rear axle should be about parallel with the tail shaft of the t-case. Every vehicle is a little different so it's next to impossible for us to give you a simple answer. Get an angle guage and take some measurements. From that you can figure out what size shims you will need. I bought my angle guage at Harbor Freight for around $5.

The best solution to your problem is to install a SYE and go from there.
