Matt,

I think it all depends on the truck and the springs.. apparently on my 4" 
Skyjacker and Dan's 4" Triangle on a Scout II, the centering pin is still 
horizontal, and everything is just 4" higher than stock.

It could be, with a set of lift springs, that they are not equal 
front/rear, which would give the axle some twist or tilt.  Perhaps it's 
something you'll just have to measure after you install it.

Even with my 2" over stock rear shackles, the pinion angle isn't bad 
enough to cause a vibration.
