I didn`t use any on a longbed.I think a Blazer rear could use a shim,though.

Re: 6" lift ?

I used a shim on the rear and have lowered my transfer case and I still have a vibration when I stand on it hard taking off. Not sure what it is yet. Had a shop here do new ujoints in the rear driveshaft before Norwood so gonna check out and make sure they got it back together right.

I had to lengthen my rear driveshaft.If the splines aren`t mated enough it will allow driveshaft wobble.I`m sure that`s been checked,though.
