I forgot to mention that the shims have a bevel in the axle pocket area on one side. It is there because on the passenger side it needs clearance for the differential banjo (I think that's what people call it). Since the passenger side shim basically touches the banjo area, you may have to do a...

There is an alignment pin in the axle housing and one on the bottom of the leaf spring pack. So they keep everything lined up with the perch and prevents things from shifting.

Here are some random pictures and drawings I have on the spring shims. The first 5 pics/drawings are all from GRINGELTAUBE and are going to be the most helpfull I'm sure. The others are some I had taken or made . Myself and some others basically ended up making zero degree shims by machining...
