Installing Coil Spring pinion shims

I have a slight drive line vibration between 45-48 mph in my lowered Coil spring truck. 2.5" drop spindles with 2" lowering springs up front. The rear has 4" lowering springs. ( No C notch). Anyway my pinion angle is pointing downward. I ordered some pinion shims. They look pretty straight forward to install but I figure I would ask before i do it to save me from doing any unnecessary work.

Thanks for any advice, Matt


In case anyone is need of shims this is where I ordered them from.

Pull the U-bolt and slide it in tighten the u-bolt back up. My blocks have 2 degrees milled into them.
