anyone here make steel shims?

[bigbadchev84]

I just ordered my cv shaft from jess at high angle driveline, I need to rotate my pinion up 2degrees below my driveline angle, so i think im looking for an 8 degree shim, i would like to take the easy way out if possible instead of grinding and rewelding axle perches. here is what i am working with:
Driveline-20degrees
Axle yoke-10degrees
transfercase-5degrees

You really can't figure out what degree shim you need until you have the CV driveshaft installed. If you're replacing a standard driveshaft then the degree you measure now will not be the same with the CV shaft.

got mine from here too. fast shipping very good product. i took my truck to the driveline shop and they told me exactly what degree i needed to put on springs. i couldnt tell you how they figured it out but it was set up perfect for my cv shaft. i bet if you took your truck to a suspension place or driveline shop they will tell you what degree shim to get....

How do you figure out what shims you need? Are there the "most" correct DLA's for the K5?

Thanks for the info so far. It has been a great help.
