I'm planning on removing the lift blocks, and installing the 2wd u-bolts. Anyone know if my pinion angle will be affected enough to require shims?

 

You won't need any shims.
If you order bolts from dealer, the nuts and washers don't come with them.
You need to cut 1 hump off the bump stop by rear axle. You will like the way your truck handles. If you plan on hauling anything ( 750lbs or more ) you may need to cut your bump stops shorter. You will probably need to lower the front
some to make it level. Don't cut your front bump stops too short. The front bump stops should have no more than an inch clearance.

 

Thanks! I'm going to lower the front some, I haven't decided which way, though. I'm also going to get lowering shackles for the rear. I wanted to get those Velvet Ride shackles, but they seemed to dissappear. I'll wait for awhile, but not forever. Any other suggestions you could make would be appreciated. I do a lot of highway traveling, so I definately don't need any kind of vibration at speeds!
