    Will 2 degree rear shims add to the rear height at all? I'm guessing it would be negligible if it would, but I'm trying to minimize any more rake.

    I believe I purchased them initially for my Icon RXT’s. However, they could possibly be shaven down a few hairs evenly on both sides I’m sure

    Also, yes they will add minimal to your rear but usually are needed to eliminate vibes associated with lifting and changing driveline angles.

    I'm actually seriously contemplating getting a one-piece drive shaft and being done with it.
