    I just had my new Dobinsons suspension installed.
    When I was looking at the old OR leafs I noticed that they had degree shims on them.
    Should I try and save them or just toss them?PXL_20220401_170926756.jpg

    General rule is 1 degree for every inch of lift. Some people get vibes and some dont, so you might not need them. I would save the shims in case you need them down the road. Did they install new ones on the new pack?

    No.
    They did install the carrier bearing shim kit that I gave them though.
    I'll try to save the old ones.
