    I had the same problem, it took the 3 degree shims and a 1 1/2 cb drop to make the vibes stop.

    If none of them work for you, you may want to consider a one piece drive shaft.

    the .5" blocks i was messin around with have the 3 degree angle...only difference would be the cb drop...mine was fabbed up at an inch...maybe that 1/2" does the trick...ill get my neighbor to work on it..hah...if everything fails, i'll just remove the leaf pack, i loved how my truck looked before them and had no vibes at all...now it rides like caca and vibrates even worse...not fun...maybe i'm just looking for an excuse to go back to my desert friendly look...

    Rather then taking the time to fab it up right off the bat, go to the hardware store, buy a handful of washers, then stack washers on the cb drop until the vibes stop. Once they do, you'll know just how big to make your cb drop.

    That's exactly what I did and then knew I needed a 3/4" steel block for my CB drop. Went and bought a piece 3/4" x 3/4" x 12" steel from Fastenal....was all I could find, for like $8. Took it to a Welding Shop and Had them cut it and then drill 7/16" holes in the middle for the new longer CB bolt I bought. Cost me $15 for that. It actually feels better than with 8 washers stacked on it! Ironically, another Welding Shop said they'd fabricate 2 spacers for me for $25, and I was sure I could get it cheaper. Turns out I was wrong, more work for me!

    Thx guys! I just want to keep driving it lol. Gonna try and tackle abs problem and this rear brake squeak I got...hmm

    Yeah I was debating the steps but my pops sometimes borrows it plus passengers so (I'm the only tall one hah). ...I found a set online for $290 shipped, got it in like 2 days. I thought about sliders but not planning on crawling mainly prerunnin when I do, plus it's already powder coated, and I can easily remove when/if needed.

    Have any of you guys had trouble installing the ABS with these spindles? I helped a friend do it and there was no slack.

    I had to remove the cable from the lower brackets. The spindles come with new ones to connect the wires to them. There is slack in the line, just have to get all the extra in the top.
