Default Question For the lowered guys.

I put a 3" lowering shackle on my RCSB with a 2" lower belltech strut kit in the front.
I have a little drive-line vibration at about 18-20 mph, not before, goes away after.

What degree of shim does anyone suggest to correct my pinion angle?
2.5 degrees looks about right from what I've been reading.
Looking for real world answers from other lowered truck owners, not a Prius owner answering the phone, and telling me what the most popular selling shim they sell is..
(That is how I got the this post in the first place)

Thanx in advance.

2.5* shim will 9x out of 10 work. They're cheap and almost guaranteed to work.

How is the ride on these lowered trucks? Particularly, the 3/5 Belltech drops? Better/worse than stock?

Thanx again.
Glad to hear it, as they aren't expensive, but I don't really want to buy more than one set if I don't have too.
