No, those shock mounts are well secured. They needed to be that low to keep the shock from bottoming out. I may however move them once I weld the blocks on the perches. The butt's a little saggy...
I don't drive it daily as I work from home. I did drive it to the trail last weekend. No vibration issues at all! The only problem is that the splines on the front driveline are worn and make a little noise. To save unnecessary wear and tear, I pulled the driveline off at the diff and hung it up for the trip.
My truck was gutless with 29s! I should just sell 4th and 5th gear. They'll never get used! A new motor is in the works as I have a bad rod knock as it is. I'll be going either with the 3.4L Toy motor or the 4.3 Chevy.
You're better off with your pickup. Less body to damage...

Thought you might want to see some finished pics.
I'm still having a few problems with the steering up front - mostly the infamous death wobble. I don't have the alignment completely tweaked yet and the RAM assist is not installed yet. I changed the ARB blue lines to the yellow coiled standard air lines.
I have to block up the rear a couple inches to get the truck level. Right now it still sags a bit in the butt.
Despite significant trimming of the rear wheel wells, I still rub, but after I get the rear up a little and bump stop it, I'll this everything will fit OK.
