Steel Leaf Spring Shims
< BACK

2-6 degree, $26.95
8 degree, $30.95
Applications:

These shims are CNC machined from solid steel. They can be ordered in either 2, 4, 6, or 8 degrees. The center pin hole is 5/16 diameter. It can be drilled to fit any center pin size. These shims will not break like most aluminum ones.

good price imo. And as long as you bolt them into the bottom of the spring pack, they will work perfect.

 

[desertrat67]

I like those a lot better than the alum ones i have.

 

[SierraJim]

I've got them, work fine.

 

[DirtyJim]

most people should have their springs shimmed if there are running a 6"+ lift

Ummm... What? That is way to broad of a generalization. everyone should set up ther suspension based soley on how there rig is setup...

Dana 44 Spacer Block< BACK

Steering

Dana 44 Dana 60 ToyotaSteering Parts

1/2" : $ 15.00
1" : $ 22.00 Applications:
Spacer blocks can be ordered 1/2 ” or 1” tall.
1“ will require longer studs. If using "tall" steering arms, the 1/2" spacers can be used without changing studs.

I like the 1 piece arms better... because the 44 arms use cones... i dont like the idea of a seperate block.

 

[Citizen Rider]

id rather spend the little more money on an actually lift steering arm..

 

[jamber2541]

the reason I am asking is I have an arm, I originally went 6 in lift and now I am up to 8 inches of lift. whats the best way to correct this

crossover and dont look back at the old push pull stuff.

 

[goldwing2000]

Either that or get a drop pitman arm. That'll give you another 2 inches and save you a few hundred dollars.

I would stay away from the spacer blocks. Mine had one on it when I bought it and I was getting movement between the arm, block and knuckle, no matter how much I tightened the fasteners.

 

[jamber2541]

thanks a bunch, start looking into crossover steering it is

x a million...crossover is the only way to go

Well... if you have a bunch of money lying around, it is.
Us poor folk have to stick to cheaper mods.

Crossover setup: $500+
Drop Pitman Arm: $95

Besides that, if it's a DD rig, crossover will give more bump steer.

Wrong, not on all rigs. When I did crossover on my burb, it cured a lot of bump steer.

 

[goldwing2000]

I'm just going by what I've heard.

 

[MattK]

other than price i cant really think of any reason not to go crossover.

 

[blazinzuk]

I wouldn't use a spacer block, I have seen them used and the bolts or studs that hold them in tend to break. They seem to break one at a time you go from "my steering feels a bit funny" to " something is wrong" pretty darn quick.
