is stacking shims alright?

[muddybuddy]

hey guys, i just picked up my 8" lift leaf springs and both front and rear came with shims already on them. i also got the fron and rear box kits which have the bushings and ubolt and for some reason, another set of shims . i was wondering if stacking shims would work/ and if it is safe? has anybody done this b4? if i did do this i would put them on the rear.

thanks guys

stacked shims are unsafe, DO NOT DO IT

It is generally not recommended. There's lots of side loads and other loads operating on those things, and stacked ones can have a tendency to pop out sometimes.

no !!!! its just like blocks no. and i only like the steel shims.
