I don't know why AC doesn't sell them with the kit now. I know when I got their AAL they tried the blame the vibration problem on Nissan. I sold the AC leafs and bought the Calmini which had the shims and they work fine with no vibration...though they squeek like no body's business.hattrik21 said:OK thanks guys. I've been looking at lift packages from AC so I confused why its not incuded in their deluxe package but thats something I can ask them I guess.
For those that got this lift, are the rancho rs9000 shocks longer than the factory bilsteins?
If you line up someone to put the front springs on the shock struts, It will only take 1 day. You can have the front struts off in an hour.

Now I guess I should ask off for the week after xmas so I can get it put on as soon as I get it.
So get the springs mounted at a shop before I start and then just worry about taking the factory ones off and then put the new ones on? Hmmm thats an idea.USMC XTERRA said:If you line up someone to put the front springs on the shock struts, It will only take 1 day. You can have the front struts off in an hour.

Where did you get the shims from?Walrus said:In my experience, the 2 deg shims that AC sells aren't enough. You need at least 3 deg. I wasted my money on the AC shims, and went out a week later and replaced them with 3deg ones. I still have some vibration, but not as bad.
Here are a couple of places where you can get the shims:hattrik21 said:Where did you get the shims from?Walrus said:In my experience, the 2 deg shims that AC sells aren't enough.
