so i lifted my blazer a couple months ago 4" tc with blocks in the rear. i know, i know, get rid of the blocks and get a shackle flip but right now its not in the budget. so i went to the drive line shop to see how much i needed to extend my driveshaft the guy right away told me i needed to shim the axle to tilt the pumpkin up more cause my angle was bad. so i asked him about how much i needed to shim it. so he checked it out and said about 2 degrees would be fine so i went and got the shims today but before i take everyting apart my big question is whitch way do i have to put the shim in order to tilt the pumpkin up. i know its a pretty simple question but i just need a little help here. this is the first time i have messed with suspension, driveline, ect any input would be appreciated. i am thinking i have to put the thick side of the shim to the back of the leaf spring let me know if i am right.

thx

The wedge goes to the rear of the axle housing, that will push the back down and raise the pumpkin.
 
so the thick side of the shim is to the rear of the truck right????
