    I originally got 2" of lift out my RXT springs set at option 1. I believe they have settled a little bit, I will have to get an updated measurement. Once I install my skids and sliders I will be changing to option 2.

    Here is how my truck looked with 2" of lift front and rear.

    This is option 1 with 2.5 Kings EXT on all 4 corners. No preload on the front.

    I went with option 2 and have aprox 330lbs constant with topper and tools in back. Rear hub to fender for me is 24”. Front is 22” hub to fender.
    I also run bilsteins 5125’s out back and they work pretty good with this leaf pack.

    Anyone install shims? Thinking of some 3° shims and maybe a half inch block for the driver side to level it out. Currently running option 2 and have some driveline vibe at about 15-20 kph

    Looking at getting these as well will run option 2 with kings all around with adjusters. I’ve heard nothing but good things about these and also heard somewhere that Deaver makes these for icon correct ? If I’m wrong please let me know. But I feel like I read that somewhere

    Have to measure driveline angles again after making an adjustment on them last weekend. Prior to the little change up I was needing a 1.5* shim

    I would avoid the lift block. Especially just adding in one/ one side.

    I put in a 2.5* shim I believe, and did a .75" carrier bearing drop to lose the vibes I had. Why would you install a 1/2" block on just one side? It's the front that has the "taco lean"

    Hmm my rear has a lean too. Maybe I'll wait till I get my front coil-overs in before I try to remedy anything in the back.

    My rear had a lean until I leveled out my front. Took a bit more preload on one side than the other due to the spring not being exactly the same on each coilover (manufacturing issue, nothing crazy).

    Are you running the shim on both sides? Where did you purchase? Wheelers?

    You will need the same sized shim on both sides. After lifting your truck, the driveshaft angles become more extreme in relation to your rear differential. This corrects that, putting less strain on your u joint/differential yoke. I've read as a general rule for tacos you'll require 1° of shim for every inch you've raised your truck.

    It's more about mis-matched joint angles that lead to vibration, but yes, there is strain as well. When you lift it, the rear pinion rotates down a little more, and your upper joint is fixed, throwing the angles off. You want the plane of your front shaft (in a 2 piece shaft system) and your differential to be parallel in a double-u joint shaft to avoid vibration from the joint accelerating and decelerating at different rates at the 2 ends. A CV shaft doesn't require that, but we don't have CVs.

    I think I got my shims off Amazon, just because i couldnt wait for shipping. I should have checked my angles when i had my driveshaft off, because I still get some takeoff vibes

    Did you have any clearance issues with your 2.5's and the BAMF mounts?

    With 1.25" wheelspacers, no. We had to do some modification and clearancing of the BAMF kit to get near the full travel out of them, and my leaf pack goes negative pretty quickly (not the shock mounts fault, spring over issues), but i'm pretty happy with it. I'm working with AccuTune and we may end up trying out some new archive mounts. BAMF is good for the money, but archive looks to be better overall (and more $$)

    Nice...
    So those are 265’s in your pic?
    Ever load it past the 330#? Squat if so?
    How did you raise the front?
    Thx!

    Which shims did you get from Amazon, exactly? A link would be much appreciated!
