I lifted the rear about 3" and the front about 3 3/4". The rear driveshaft angle seems to be a bit extreme. I also put on some 33's. Do i need to put a leaf spring shim under the leaf springs to get a better angle or is it fine the way it is?



Thanks alot

Assuming you're talking about the 89 in your sig(and using a standard u-joint/u-joint driveshaft), this is how it should be setup:



Shims? The short answer is no.

The long answer is HERE. Read, young grasshopper. :D
