Thanks man, one more question, the shims have a round hole and then a slot, I'm thinking the slot goes over the pen. THANKS!

The round hole is for the leaf pack bolt to go through it so you clamp it to the leaf pack. A longer bolt is required for that. As for the slots thats so you can use the shims without bolting them down to line up the rear end.

Gotcha I was over thinking it lol, just bolted everything back up, the rearend seemed a little out of square last night after a couple of passes at the track, looked to be a 1/8 to 3/16s out, took the leaf pack bolt and welded a 1/4 nut on top of it to help keep things lined up, so it all looks good now going to take it at to my buddies and check the pinon angle, I'll get back I'll post up what we find. THANKS!

Guys this is what I'm thinking, didn't get to check the pinon angle last night should be able to today, but the vibriation is a lot better, looks like the rearend slipped and that's my fault for not tightening up the u-bolts the other night and some m&hs and the track, any way the gears basically sound like pure ****, so I'm going to find some GM gears and a new installer some where in the southeast lol, I'm down around Mobile Al and it seems hard to find someone good at gear installs,also it may be hard to find a gm gear for this 13 model truck, I believe we were going to gothat way before but had a hard time finding a set, especially at my small town dealer, any suggestions. THANKS!

Man that's what I want to do, I really don't want to go back to 3.42s, I'm in Atmore Al, about 50 miles from Moile Al, and Pensacola Fla, ideas of any shops in my area, and I don't mind traveling any body around you area that you recommend. THANS!
