Just make sure they are steel. I had a shop list them as steel once on there web site. When I got them they were aluminum. Sent those ****ers back.

If you're running a zero rate up front and are gonna sandwich the shim in between the leaf pack and zero rate, make sure to use grade 8 bolt thru the leaf pack or this might be problem like it was for me

No , its going in or I should say ON the rear. After the 4" lift I had to get a longer Drive shaft [D/S]...THEN when I hit
the brakes HARD the D/S at the axel trys to bind up. The part where the u-joints are , try to bind up.
So I need to angle it up some to keep them apart.
I couldnt figure out what the DARN poping noise was when I hit the brakes....Thought I had a loose
bolt or something..
Then one day I was under there fixing a broken wire and got to stareing at the D/S waiting
for the wife to bring me a lighter for the heat shrink
and - POW , simple once I looked at it.
