    Default Leaf spring shims

    I messed up my rear end a while back. I got it as close to the proper angle I could and rewelded it, but it is still off about an eight or a quarter. Where can I get some cheap 1/8" or 1/4" shims.

    Pep Boys once sold them but any speed shop will be able to get them for you. PS there sold in degrees not thickness.

    If you cant find them at Pep Boys or other auto parts stores try some online Off-Road parts suppliers, Almost every lifted truck has had to have the diff. adjusted a few degrees to compensat for the lift.
