Default Shimming my rear............

Hey guys, thinkin' about dropping my truck. Nothing outlandish, about 1- 2" front via drop keys, and yanking the stock blocks in the rear, mainly. But wouldn't I need some sort of shim in the rear to maintan a corect driveline angle.............
Thanks

do the drop. if it vibrates after you drive, then yes you need shims. if not, well then you don't.
