Wheres a good place to buy springs shims. My 4 inch TC springs didn't come with any and the front u-joint on the rear shaft is close to being maxed out - no vibes though even up to 75 mph.

Thanks. /forums/images/graemlins/peace.gif
 
Note, I had some aluminum shims for a short time. With in 4 Months they were cracking and pieces were falling out between the spring / axle. If possible I'd try and find steel shims.
 
4wheelparts has em. They had a choice of 6 degrees or 8 degrees. Pretty cheap but they're aluminum so you gotta use em correctly ( with center bolt through the shim) or they'll split. Good luck.
 
Mine did the same they broke out so I cut the perches set my axle where I wanted it and rewelded the perches NO MORE SHIMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now if I could only quit breakin the darn Dana 44 Axle shafts LOL!!!!!!!!

I had some steel shims that came with my lift. Two weeks ago I pulled the remaining pieces out. They were crumbled. But I crushed a set of lift blocks a few months back too.
