Cool, so did you experience the shudder when you had it lowered 1"?

Are those shims only meant to be used for the 2" drop? Would using the shims for a 1" drop overcorrect the pinion angle and cause other problems?

I had a Rough Country shackle drop. Just the shackle. I had no weird characteristics with either the 1" or the 2"

That doesn't mean nothing will happen with your truck though....

Same here, but i already have a 4" flip kit

Will it work?

I kind of miss the feel of that now that I have a stock 4x4. when I was driving my lowered S10, it was not uncommon for me to get a "jeep wave" from other lowered trucks.
