theres no way im paying to have the 20$ shims put on, just making sure when i put the shims on they are going to correct direction because i dont want to snap my carrier bearing. the whole time i have been thinkin fat side to the engine but everyone elses ideas have made me second think myself. but i think im just gonna say screw it and do it. shouldnt take that long or be that hard at all

no i dont. just the shackles. i broke my carrier bearing once about 5 months ago and it was only holding on by about half of a bolt...it was spinning and slapping on my exhaust pipes like crazy. almost dropped out of the bottom of the truck. i dunno what caused it though cuz i have had these shackles for at least 2 years and had never had trouble.

if your lowered it goes toward the engine, i dont see whats so hard to understand.not trying to be a dick but when lowered goes fat to the front and lifted the other way around

2004, i understand that and i personally believe that too but colby and others are trying to say that fat end goes to the back. my personal belief is what you think, just trying to hear the other poeple justify their thoughts
