I believe your issue is the shim. I believe that shim is supposed to be used with a lift block, which the hole is bigger. I ended up pitting on a rubican express steel shim. The hole is very small and i had to open it up a little. I have some ruff country shims that should be delivered in a week or so, which i will probably return.

Yeah I used some shims where i had to drill the hole out, I went to autozone for the tr6's.
Yeah that pinion angle is atrocious Ferocity. But on my mcguahys drop I think i had to use some 4 degree shims to get it level again. My ridetech setup was dead nuts when installed.
