Ok no pinion shims. What I have out back is no notch yet but will def need one at some point, bottoms out on the rubber bump stops over bumps. I did have to cut the stops in half though. Out back I have 5" springs with 1" blocks. I also have CPP deluxe track bar so the plates add 1/4" so its up to a 6 1/4". I wanted it a little lower so I added another 5/8" steel plate for a total of 6 7/8" drop. I have about 1" clearance between the axle tubes and the frame. Drive it everyday but it WILL need a notch at some point. If I had to do it over again I would go 5" springs with the 2" blocks. I also am running 15" wheels.
