Where do you install the pinion shims? Anybody have any pics? I haven't looked under the truck to install my drop shackles yet, but I would like to have a better idea of everything before I start.

Thanks

So I got everything installed, no vibration (woohoo!) but my front alignment seems to have been knocked off by installing the shackles in the back.. Has this happened to anyone? Its actually not so much my alignment, as now my steering wheel is just turned to the right about 5 degrees or so when just going straight.

Rear end Alignment is off a tad! so your compensating for the crab walk...so to speak. Have you have ever driven behind a Chevy truck, and notice how the rear end and front end dont line up? Well now your most likely does not!

Hmm, so how does that happen? And how do I fix it?

Well, a good alignment shop will in some cases loosen the ubolts and shift the differential ever so slightly to get it tracking straight.

It won't move much, as its pinned. But it will move a little.
