Axle shims in progress, need help

When I drop the axle with Jack with frame on jack stands, the leaf center bolt doesn't drop all the way through the leaf. Thoughts? Axle is as low as it will go. Do shocks need to be removed?

 

What did you add that you need shims for???

 

unsure how you have leaf springs off the axle if the shocks are still attached, considering where they mount, if you didn't take off the ubolts you couldn't have the axle down.

 

I added icon aal 1.5" in back a while back. Shop did the work. Did ome front 885 springs. Here is a pic.

 

Are you having vibrations as ICON's do not call for shims??? What degree shims are you adding?

 

Or go hire with the jackstands then drop the axle

 

what other mods did you do when you noticed vibes, assuming that is what your chasing with the shims


1.5" won't change the angle enough to need shims though.


also, that axle looks like it can come down another foot, whats the issue?

 

I added shims when I put these same leafs on my truck. Vibes were terrible, removed them vibes were gone. Do you have a Carrier Bearing drop kit in???

 

Icon aal 1.5", ome shocks front and back with ome 885.

Drive shaft angles front to back are: 4.7, 5.2, 3.0 from transfer case. So 4.7, .5, 3.0 differences. Using 3 degree shims

 

No

 

Never answered the question of are you having vibrations at all? If so start with the 12.00 OME Carrier Bearing drop kit. And that is what I added was 3 degree, was absolutely terrible. But each truck is different.

 

Yes from 30 mph all the way through 80

 

Stock leafs with only icon aal

 

Exactly what I have carrier bearing is enough for mine

 

GreAt. How do I get axle lower? Take shocks off

 

Yes take the shocks off, or you can take one side off at a time.

 

Thank you sir

 

Do you have overload leaf in or not?

 

In

 

Were you drive shaft angles similar to mine?
