blondejoncherokee said:thank you guys for all the help. ive been thoroughly researching vibe threads for months now and tried a ton of diff. t case drop and axle shim combos along with diff axle shim combos with different shims as well. i was just wondering basically at this point if i can get away with just a longer shackle to "shim" and point the pinion up towards the t case cuz im sick of swapping in degree shims. but honestly i wont know until i install the PORC sye and the rough country 1.5"-2" lift shackles. i will post up once i get the sye in and the shackles on what the angles are and like i said i have steel shims lying around now...i was originally trying to avoid the "cost" of a sye but after all the stupid money i put into shims and steel for drops and shackels and add a leafs and new driveshafts and junk i shoulda done the sye in the first place. i highly reccamend to anyone to just fork up the 200$ for the sye and be done with it instead of dealing with countless weekends of tearing apart the rear leaf packs on sundays to mess with angles and shims... anyone running a porc sye and 3" leaves with 2" shackles? if so what shims if any are you using on your leaves?
I'm running 3" leaf packs w/ 1" jks boomerang shackle, SYE and 4* shims. Personally, I think it depends on how stiff your springs are, as to how much pinion tipping you get from your shackles. If your leafs are a little more stiff, they wont "give" as much, and the result will be slightly more tipping of your pinion. I wish i could help more, but honestly, its a really hard thing to predict. I had 2* and 4* shims to play with and was lucky that the 4* ones were perfect.
