[QUOTE="LekRap, post: 817575, member: 15006"] Shims are little wedge type things that go between the under side of the leaf and the rear end. Shims are meant to help change the pinion angle. From mechanics that I have spoken with, shims should not be needed for the small changes being made by us on here between an inch or two or even 3 in height. Shims come into play when someone jacks up a truck drastically (like an 8 inch lift or something) or lowers a truck drastically. I don't think a small degree shim will hurt anything anyhow (between 2-4 degree is subtle). Doing a large degree shim would do more harm than good, so be a little cautious. Shims won't do anything unless you have a drastic pinion angle problem and feel some drastic vibration. [/QUOTE]
