    I read on here the cb drop is more for high speed vibes. So I should go ahead and do the cb drop first? Then try shims or the opposite?
    Also, the blocks have a slope in them. Do they slope downward toward the front or toward the back of the truck?

    Generally a slope would go up towards rear of vehicle, but 3" block.....i personally wouldn't run that on my tacoma. Crappy ride, axle wrap, etc, etc

    Ok read up on the thread. Thanks for that after all the searching I didn't see that one. I've got the cb kit in and shims on the way. My leaf looks like shit! Guess this is axle wrap? Looks like an "~" instead of a "u".. So should I go with the add a leaf now or should I just go down and buy some clamps (I've seen this as an easy fix). It will be another week before I can get the aal too. Is it gonna hurt that much to drive around for a week like this?

    Thanks again guys for all your help

    Ya, that's caused from axle wrap. I wouldn't be surprised if you break a main leaf. Be easy on the throttle if you drive any more like that. Do it right and order a set of replacement 3" lift springs from deaver or alcan. Shims won't fix bent springs.
