Do I need a pinion snubber?

My truck's lowered about 2" all around (Eibach's in front, shackles in back). I'm just concerned about driveshaft failure at the track.

Would a shim be more appropriate? If so, what angle?

Your driveshaft angle should be ok with just a set of shackles. Apinion snubber couldn't hurt, but a set of traction bars would be better.

Thanks Don. I guess I was just being paranoid. The traction bars are definitely on the list of "to get" items.

Eibachs

Did you get 2 full inches from the Eibachs coils? Eibach only rates them at a 1" drop. Also have you trimmed the bump stops?
