Manufactured from medium-carbon 1045 steel and finished with an electrophoretic coating, the shims resist corrosion and hold up under repeated service. Each shim measures 2 inches wide and is intended to tilt the axle or driveline mounting by 4°, helping restore factory-ish angles after lifts, repairs, or worn components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow will these shims change my axle or driveshaft angle?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstalling one or both shims under the leaf spring perch or axle seat subtly rotates the mounting point, shifting the axle pinion\/drive flange through a 4° angle per shim. This small correction can bring a misaligned driveshaft or asymmetrical pinion angle back into a safer operating range without replacing original suspension parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEach shim provides a 4° angular correction at the mounting surface.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2\" shim width fits common leaf spring perches and mounts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse one shim for minor adjustment or stack both for larger corrections.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are these shims made of and how durable are they?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKPALAG shims are laser-cut from 1045 medium-carbon steel, which balances strength and toughness for suspension use.
