Didn't do anything to the angle of the shock mountings. On my '69, there was a kit. On the '96, I haven't been able to get anyone at DJM to say it would be needed. They're just kinda nonchalant about it and "it ain't no biggee" as they say.

I emailed this company and they replied and included a link with testamonials, specifically from the owner of an '07 Tundra. I drove an '00 Tundra and it rode much better than this GMC. However, my son liked the Tundra, and wanted a change of rides after 5 years in the GMC. I liked the GMC (still do) and we traded and I got some boot. But the ride quality of the Tundra, even when it had a bad shock, never was a harsh as this is. At $350 plus $60 for the drop kit, I am hesitant to make the investment if removing a leaf or changing to a different rear shock will rectify the problem.

Then again, I drive it less than 7K miles per year, so.......
