I did a rear shackle drop ECSB and have a low speed shutter/vibration when pulling out under load, then goes away. I installed the 2 degree pinion angle shims and it got better but is still there. This is driving me crazy
Any advice would be appreciated!! Thanks!

you will need to do the carrier brg relo
Mine did the exact same thing...
my fix was to go to a 2/4

I have a carrier bearing relocator bracket with a 2/4 drop. I'm sure you could buy the bracket or custom make one. Mine didn't make noise or vibration without the relocator bracket with a 4" drop. But I had the hanger also. I would try the relocator bracket. I know DJM has them.

The brg relo - brings the brg assy up into the chassis
Mine came with my kit
I had a pretty good shudder with a 2" shackle.
It is a pain in the axx

I did a shackle/hanger drop on my 99 rcsb and I hated it. The ride quality sucked and had trouble with wheel hop. I heared the only way to go is with front spindles and rear de-arched leaf springs; which is what I going to do on my 02 ecsb.
