When I bought my 2" kit and had it installed. I told them the reason I wanted the Ground Force was because it came with the wedges. They brought my truck around after installation and the wedges were still in the box. The installer said it didn't need them as I had the two piece driveshaft. I told him, i wanted them installed as the pumkin would be out of alignment even if it didn't vibrate. They went back and installed them.

If you put the shim in with fat to the back it will be the same as putting on a 4" drop with no wedge. Go to beltech's website and under the tech support - install sheet - kit 6419 - step 18 which is for the 97-03 it will say the fat to the front. If you want to put it fat to the back then go for it but you'd be better off just not putting the shim in at all. Just think about it for a second and it makes sense. The axle has to move wherever the gap is because the leaf springs definitely won't be the ones to move. If the gap is towards the front then the driveshaft will suck upwards which is good for lifted trucks and bad for lowered ones. If the gap is to the back the driveshaft will go downwards which is what you're looking for.

When drop shackles are installed the spring pack pivots up towards the truck bed, therefore making the pinion angle pivot up towards the truck bed as well, which makes the pinion angle wrong. Adding the shim with the fat part towards the rear corrects that wrong pinion angle back to stock.
