Aftermarket spring perch question

I need to re-do my rear spring perches due to a bad pinion angle and as I was looking for other options beside Marlin , TG etc. I found these guys at summit

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-720025/?rtype=10

Anyone try these things. They don't seem to be as long as the brands mentioned above but they are less then half the price.

I know I'm kinda being cheap here.

You could just use shims instead of moving the perches. How bad is the pinion angle?

The springs are already shimmed. It might actually help if I take them out.

This is how it looks right now. I get vibes mainly on decelleration.



I put new u-joints in it when I got it so that shouldn't be an issue.

Defiantly take the shims out.

Took them out a while back and the vibes are gone. Guess I should have updated this.

Kinda weird I ran those same rear springs on my 4runner and had no issues.

Guess the added wheel base of an xtra cab threw things outta whack?

Oh and thanks for the post but the reason I made this thread is because I already knew my angle was messed up.
