Pinion shim questions

[454Sub]

I have a Burb, I have 4in lift springs in the rear and ran 4in blocks. Well, after I installed the ORD flip kit, my pinion is basically pointing into the rear seats. At the time, all I had was the shims from the blocks, so I beat them around with a hammer to bring the pinion back down some. Have any of you ran across a shim that can bring it down farther? Or is it more of a cutting perches off and reweld type fix?

cutting and welding is better.but you can get steel shims and new center bolts and adjust that way.

years ago i put ord 4'' shackle flip and 14 bolt ff in my 76 blazer and had to use 10degree shims to get my angles close.

Thatl work, I really dont feel like pulling the axle and welding perches, cuz then I might as well weld the center section, and thats a can a worms for me. Because then I tear everything apart. lol

You don't have to preheat/postheat a 14 bolt center to weld the tubes in place.
