Where do you get tapered shims (springs)

Where is a good source for the tapered degree shims that fit between the spring perches and the leaf springs?
I need some 2 1/2" wide ones for the rear of my jeep. When I welded the perches on I angled the pinion up just a wee bit to much.

 

The best shims I've found were BDS. I've got 5 degree shims on the front dana 30.

I previously broke two different styles. One was from NAPA. The other came with some Superlift springs.

Guys here have recommended steel shims from a source on the web.

 

From your local Ecj5 machinist.
If all else fails, Dimensions please!!

 

try this website http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/ForSale/Shims.
made from mild steel.

 

There used to be a place that I got from this Board that made custom shims out of steel any dimension you wanted. I put it on my "Favorites" list, but a couple of weeks ago I went there and the site "was no more" !!!

 

No shims at that link :?

 

Thanks Mike.
We have a machine shop at work and I thought about making them myself, but if they are cheap enough, I'll just buy them. Besides our tooling at work leaves a lot to be desired. To many peeps allowed to use the stuff, not knowing what they are doing.

 

Its probably the one Maxx listed. I looked forever for the same site before I finally ran across the new URL.

And the New URL is?????

 

Thanks! That's it.

 

Thanks everyone

 

What width are the RE shims? Rusty's Off Road has some too. $30 gets you shims and centering bolts.

 

I've bought shims from 4crawler a couple times. Very reasonable, well made and fast delivery. I highly recommend him.
