i just lowered my truck to a flip kit.
the only thing wrong with it is that it vibrates alot when i get on the highway.
i need to align my rear end to my drive shaft. how to do that????? dont know?????
also what degree of shims do i need ???? dont know?????
some one please help with this problem
how can i figure out my degrees. 1 2 4 & 6 degrees wich one is right for me.???????
What brand flip kit did you use? If you have a crew/ext cab with a two piece shaft, did you install the 2" riser to relocate the carrier bearing higher?

its a single cab and its a djm flip kit.
Did you go to a shop after lowering it to get the front end aligned?

what do u mean. explain
please still having trouble.
did u mean--to go get my wheels straight.(align) or what?
if so does it make the diferrence.
i just droped it from the back not the front
i syill have the 3in drop springs in front.
oh by the way my teering wheel shakes more.
is that what ur talking about
Well if your steering wheel shakes then that means something up in the front is wrong. My steering wheel used to shake a little bit but a front end alignment corrected it. You cant really align the back end of the truck. When you did the flip kit did you use every part of the kit and make sure everything is tight to specs?

Are you positive that you got the u-brackets on facing the right direction? The kits are designed to correct the pinion angle during installation. One side is longer than the other on the brackets that go around the axle. If you have them backwards you'll have severe problems. Also, did you have drop shackles on the back of the spring? If so, you need to replace them with factory length hangers.
