any jeep or off road store can have or get shims.

i generally use the idea that 3 inch requires 3*, 4 inch a 4*, 6 inch with a 6*.

did you get the longarm or the extreme duty?

i started out with the extreme duty years ago, nice kit, and easily upgradable to their longarms.

but now i went with "clayton" longarms. still using the R.E. 5.5 springs and trackbar, etc, but modified for now.
