Load will not change the angle, because it will lower both ends of the leafspring. Same goes with taking out the blocks

DJM guy, I have a question. If truck has the correct driveline angles from the factory and every 2" shackle kit you sell changes that setup 2 degrees.... Why not include them in your kits, at least a set to use as a starting point?

getting ready to do the drop 2/3 (front to back), and now I'm wondering if the shims should have come with the shackles, or is the drop not enough to worry about?

Dropped mine 2" in back to level it, and it caused a vibration at 20 MPH. 2 degree shims corrected it.
