    when i added my deaver 10 pack i ordered the 3* shim from toytec and made it worse, going to get the 2 1/2* and cb drop and see how it goes. mine is only 5-10 mph, not that bad, if this does not fix it no big deal.

    I am curious... Those with a shuttering problem, is your truck a 5ft bed? The wheelbase is 127.4" for a double cab with a 5' bed and 140.6" for a longbed. That is a 13.2" difference.

    The driveshaft on a shortbed is shorter and the driveshaft (and u-joint) angle will be greater with an equivalent lift compared to a longbed. I have a longbed and do not have any issues...

    6% Tint all around, Toyota all-weather floor mats, Toyota bed extender and skid plate, Python 991 remote-start alarm, oem cruise control and class III hitch were all installed within a couple months. I then installed Icon c/o's and Icon's 3-leaf aal with 17x9" GA9's and 285/70/17 Goodyear Duratrac's. The DRL mod was done, as was a custom rack setup similar to the org. cross bars. Blacked out headlights bought online, and a BOSS 1500 under-seat sub installed along with a Pioneer double-din DVD player
    bump! Any new info, guys? I'm thinking of doing a very similar lift to Simon2150 and Spearhead and want to know if I should get the CB drop and Shim pack.

    get the shims and the cb drop when you buy the lift, only like 20 bucks for both and you won't have to wait for shipping, you might not need either.
