Anyone get vibes after installing a 2"lowering shackle?

I would like to lower my 77 c10 an inch in the rear by installing a 2" drop shackle. Has anyone experienced vibrations after doing just a drop shackle? Or am i good to go? Thanks!

It is possible to get a vibration, you may want to check your pinion angle after you add the shackle to see if it is off and buy some shims to correct it.

Is it a SWB or LWB? I have never had vibes with any 73-87 SWB with shackles. I have heard of it with the LWB trucks.
