Anyway this is my question?HAS anybody done the same upgrades if what shims did u use? I don't want to put it altogether just to have to pull it back apart to add shims to spring pack.Should i lower t-case crossmember?

I don't have the same mods, so I can't suggest a shim to use. Adding shims after it's together isn't very hard to do though. Just tighten the u-bolts enough to hold the spring to the axle and set the truck down to see what shims you need. Put the shims in 1 at a time so the axle stays lined up. I wouldn't lower my t-case unless I absolutely had to. When you drop the rear it will tilt up the front, making the front CV angle worse than it already is. You will have to wait until you get it together to decide if you want to lower it.
