    It was the piss poor alignment for the most part. Shady bastard is going to give me my money back or get an ear full. He may get both. I took the measurements from before and after i got 3.25 inches up front and 2.0 rear from the changes. Some will settle and the bumper change will help. When we firsr sat the front end down i was 1/2 an inch lower than swanks and he has a 4 inch spindle lift ;)

    That's because you have 700 lb. 14" coils, right? How much preload did you set? 100+ lb. bumper will settle it, and your CV's will thank you.

    Get atleast 3* caster, with 0 toe and camber. This will give you the most cab mount clearance and drive nice.

    Safety is more important than half assing it. I know its not likely since I'm not an idiot, but if it can prevent an axle from falling on me then I am all for it.

    And go ahead and call me a pussy for it, but I always wear saftey glasses too.

    Not sure what the block of wood is for. If all you're installing is axle shims, support the frame and do one side at a time, supporting that side of the axle with the jack. Or you can get more stands, it's up to you. I don't blame you for wanting to be safe ;)

    I only have one pair of 5 ton stands that are going to be under the frame. I wanted to get some 2 ton ones to place under the axle

    Yea that's what I figured. I'm saying, you can unbolt one side of the axle at a time, and lower it with a jack to get the shim in. Is the shim slotted for the center pin, or drilled?

    Lol the block of wood was for filling the gap of the jack and your truck to lift your truck easier, but I forgot you've got a baby lift ;) I reaced my leafs with just 2 jack stands and a jack safety was never I jeopardy
