You don't have struts on the front end. Can't you level it by cranking the torsion bars in the front? (As posted, depending on what it's rubbing, I don't know if it will help or not.) I don't think the 4x4 shake is common when cranking the torsion bars. Also, the stock 20's are 33" wheels, so that seems odd to me.
joe
he has on 07' i do believe he does have struts because i do, and like 4.7 said, if it rubs the UCA u need spacers like me or get new rims with a better backspacing like 4.5 i do believe or go with a tire less wide, those are ur only options.
mine dont shake, if it shakes check out ur tie rod ends, garentee there goin bad
Its caused by an extreme high angle on the axles which causes the inside spline of the razzpa (CV) joint to wear and also the spline on the output shaft in the front diff. to wear which in time causes it to whip out .. so between the high angle and the whip is where the shake comes from... But IF you have bad tie rod ends it will cause a little shake, but not the 4X4 shake thats talked about with leveling kits.
Just IMO don't buy those cheap spacers from autozone. try getting some of the hub centric ones. They are better quality and you don't stand a chance of tearing up or breaking the studs.
i have an 06 with mickey atz 33x12.50 on the stock rims with 1/4" spacers. I put a 2.5 or 3" tuff country kit and the front sat way high. All i did was measured to the front wheel well and measured the read then took my differance and made it up with 1" blocks in the rear and it is perfectly level without any probs. I bought it brand new and put it on with 7k miles. No shakes or wobbles and looks AWSOME

better watch out dude, if i do remember those dont bolt on ur old studs do they or hub centric? if not ur at HIGH risk out bending and breaking ur lugs, and there goes ur tire running down the road
