    Did you get my answer to your email? Did you get the Belltech shims?

    Instructions

    1. Raise the rear of your vehicle by the frame and secure with jackstands. (note: don't support the vehicle by the axle like you might normally do. You need the axle free)

    2. Remove both rear wheels

    3. Loosen the u-bolts that secure the axle housing to the spring pack until there is enough gap to slide the shim in between the spring seat on the axle housing and the spring pack. The alignment pin on the spring pack will fit into the slot on the shim.

    4. Tighten the u-bolts to the specified torque (can't remember what it is right off)

    5. Re-install wheels.

    6. Remove jackstands and lower vehicle

    7. Haul a$$ and enjoy vibration-free driving


    Let me know if you need some more help on this!!

    Do your shims look like this?



    The thin end needs to go towards the front.

    So will the the thick part of the shim be facing toward's the back of the truck or the front? And basically the shims go in between the axle and the leaf spring.

    Look at the post above......the thick part needs to go to the rear......and yeah, between the axle and the spring.
