    I installed the 6 degree shims today and the vibrations are gone. Note that I installed them with the thick side forward to point the diff down. Party on wayne.

    M1009 Brake Pad Question

    Is it normal with a new brake pad install to smell a little burning brakes after install? Or is this a sign that I need new calipers?

    New to me M1008, lock out hub issue.

    When I did my bearings I took advantage of the labor and installed new Warn locking hubs. I found missing parts missing from the last time someone was in there. FWIW

    It measures out to have 8 degrees of difference so I am going to install 6 degree shims per the guys over at ORD. I will update when installed.

    True story.

    How much shim after 4" lift?

    Well I did some reading on other forums and found that every truck can be different and the best thing to do is to measure my own angles before buying shims. I purchased a magnetic angle finder on amazon for 11 bucks and, once it's here, I will know what size shims to purchase.

    Well... you're wrong... Again. But that won't stop you from polluting my legitimate thread with your opinions about how nobody knows as much as you.

    How much shim after 4" lift?

    There are many ways to lift a truck that work just fine. I bought this truck as a hunting truck and it can't get to our hunting areas in its stock configuration. Now, my lift will work just fine as soon as I finish fine tuning it so, please, take it elsewhere.

    How much shim after 4" lift?

    You should save this on a word document so you can just cut and paste it into people's threads. All you'd have to do is change the term "drivetrain" out for "fuel filter" or "stater relay" or "glow plug resistor" etc. It could save you a lot of time.

    You could just put it on mine to prevent it from rusting.

    I just went out and looked at it and it looks like I need to point the diff down to achieve the parallel angles.
