Yup im def. interested in what you find also. I'm kinda thinking i need a 2 degree shim. Been running w/ out any w/ no vibration to speak of, so maybe its fine then. I want to be -3 or -2 .

I searched around and you can fine them, but everyone seemed to be VERY proud of them. I ended up doing an exchange.

OK, so I measured the pinion angle on the alighnment rack last night. It was -4 and -2 so that's -6 correct? Only problem was that the drivers side snubber was touching the spring so I don't know how that will effect it. I am gonna take care of the snubber this weekend and re-check it.

Note, I have no low speed vibration.

Otherwise, the kit rides very nice. Much better than my Stang that was lowered. Overall I am very happy with it.

Looks great! I'm guessing that the Roush springs add some drop to the rear, because my 2" shackles didn't provide nearly that much drop.

Hmm, so what would removing those shims ultimately net you, you think?

I don't have any shims in there right now. I re-adjusted the snubbers today and hope I can get back to the shop to check the angle again.

*smacks own head* Oops, misread your other post, I thought it said the shims were stuck to something else (still on the truck). OK, thanks for keeping us posted, let us know what you discover when you go back!
