Leaf Spring shims

Post by Jesus_man »

Anyone have any leaf spring shims laying around? I just moved my axle back 1" and that moved the axle up the arch of the spring causing the pinion to point lower than before. I am getting some slight vibrations from it. I don't need much. Thanks!

Napa on Academy and Autin Bluffs did not have them. Well the guy on the phone hadn't a clue what I was talking about. But Predator 4x4 had them so I stopped by there anyway. Had to drop a driveshaft off at drivetrain anyway.
