    I have a dakar leaf pack. Can someone tell me what is the best 3 degree shims to use? Are these any good? For install does anyone have a good video?
    I think this is the order I would add them in?
    1. Jack under rear diff and one under the back of the truck.
    2. Remove U bolts (do I need to remove the rear shocks?)
    3. Lower differential
    4. C clamp the leaf pack and remove center bolt.
    5. Add shim and new centerbolt and tighten
    6. Reverse hook everything back up.

    Am I missing anything? Is there a way to do it without removing the center bolt? Thanks in advance
