???'s on zero rates plus shims

[Cornfield creations]

On my 79 k-5, I have the original 12 bolt, with 4" TC springs all around, I got my new driveshaft and I need to tilt the pinion up. I ordered a 6* shim from TC and then called the guy back to cancel it. Well it came anyways, so now I have a set of 6* shims. After more research I had my heart set on putting some zero rates under there with a 6* milled into it.

My question is does it sound unsafe to run zero rates and the shims together? Could I weld them together? and then pin it up?

Just looking for other opinions. I got 4" lift springs so I wouldn't have blocks,and I don't want to get a chance of having more axle wrap.

That is the setup I run.

sounds fine to me. i run zero-rates with a 6* shim, no problems

what about a shim and 0 rates up front?

I run both up front no problems at all, since the zero rate is basically just like the stock spring pack the shim works just like it does on the original spring!!!

I have seen a 0-rate type design somewhere before that had certain degrees cut into it. Not sure where but I would like to know also.....I need some.

Just put the center bolt through the shim, the zero-rate and the spring pack all together.
