Alright here is my setup:
SYE with CV Driveshaft
4.5" leaf pack + .75" lift shackles
4.5" Coils + 1" Coil Spacers
Well I recently built in an organizer type box in the cargo area and fully loaded it. I also added a tire carrier bumper and spare tire. As you would expect I lost some height. I was already low in the back but now it's worse.
My rear axle (8.25) was shimmed and I decided to fight the sag with a 1.5" lift block. So I bought some blocks and some new u-bolts and went to it. Now I have axle-block-shim-leaf all held together with my u-bolts. All the research I did here (After my brilliant idea) told me that my setup is kind of sketchy (shim and block). My question is this. With about 5.5" net lift and a SYE with a CV driveshaft and a .75" lift shackle, do I really need that shim? I think it is a 3*. I kind of think it will be okay as is, but all the naysayers really have me thinking. Don't try to talk me out of the block. It is a small block and I'm not up to swappin leafs (not to mention the $$$). Thoughts?
I hate when I do shit like this.
