I think I might shim the trans mount up about 1/4" and re-measure.

Just something to consider, when you accelerate the pinion will rotate down. .. so your 4* up is okayy .. but it will quickly go to 1-2* or so as you pull away from the stop lights.

If I am thinking correctly, if you shim the trans mount up just a hair wouldn't that put them close to equal but not zero'ed out ?

Just to add something else for you.. read through this kit writeup. It will make it all make more sense (it did for me) I know this is S10 stuff, but I promise I used this kit on my 96 S10 ext cab it has ZERO vibration in it anywhere. It is smoother now than it was from the factory. I'm sure the same concept applies to our C10s.
