2003 TRD Tacoma Build

After lots of reading on here and other sites, hours of debating and then not doing it. Well I finally ordered my lift, wheels and tire.

OME complete set through wheelers with the 883 coils, SCS Stealth 6 16x8 3.5bs, and cooper st maxx 255/85/16. Also ordered lug nuts and a set of all pro axle relocation plates for the rear as it seems the dakars move the axle forward a bit. My only question is has anyone on here ran shims as well as relocation plates? Im getting lots of mixed opinions on whether ships and a carrier drop are necessary. Already plan on dropping the carrier. To be honest I see no issue as I have stacked shims in our dump truck front ends for years with millions of miles and no issues. Curious if anyone has any experience on here with this exact setup. If Im missing anything feel free to point it out. Thanks.
