Okay, so I drilled new center pin holes 1" offset on my Dana 60's spring perches so I can move the axle forward. The only problem is my 6" BDS springs have shims that need to be installed. If I bolt them into the leaf pack like it says then they will be offset too....How did you guys get around this :confused: The only thing I can think of is to drill another hole in the shim 1" offset and bolt it in like that but I'd be putting a hole in the thin side of the shim and I'm worried I'll break them eventually and spit them out :blush:

How are you other guys doing it?
 
If you've got steel shims, I wouldn't worry about drilling another hole. I move my front axle forward 1.5" using offset degree shims.
