    I need new shims for my D30.

    Talked with Lynn on the phone about it, he suggested looking at Rubicon Express. They have them in 4* and 6*, I should need 5*. BUT they only work with 2.5" wide springs they say:

    Any suggestions on where I can get some steel shims that are 5* that work with 1.75" wide spring?

    I had some issues with my front axle. Needs new shims to replace the POS Aluminum that's in there now.

    Side note: NAPA has a good selection of centering pins in many sizes. U-bolts too.

    Sparky, the link posted above is the one I used to have... I've heard that many guys have bought from him and were happy with the product.

    I figured I'd let you speak for yourself. ;) I only had three people tell me to contact you.
