If you're flip kit brackets had the offset hole for the leaf spring pin, you shouldn't have to shorten the driveshaft. I'd say its the driveline rubbing on either the cab, or the gas tank crossmembers. If its that, you could either notch the crossmembers or have them raised. I'll be raising my gas tank when I redo my notch form more travel.

It ended up being the pinion angle. The driveshaft was rubbing on the crossmember.

Right now, we put in 2* shims and that helped a ton. However, I need a little more for it to be "just right".

Perhaps 4* might fix it completely?

I'm going to *guess* that 4* will probably do it, but if you get an adjustable protractor from a hardware store, you can check it to be sure
