I am hunting some 4" lift blocks with a 4 degree taper. I can find 4" blocks all day but most have 2.6 degree taper. Y'all have any suggestions or have some laying around?

If you have a machine shop around ask them to make you some up.

I think you can get shims for that.

I'm sure there is a machine shop around here somewhere. I may have to look into that.
79jasper, any idea where I can find the shims? I would assume I would just set them on top of the factory blocks being they are 4".

Those might be the ticket. Never used them but it looks like I could put them in with the factory blocks.

you would want the shims between the perch and the block. Why do you need shims?

If you go the shim route, I'd go with steel shims that bolt to the spring pack with the center pin.

I did a shackle flip in the back and with the stock square blocks it has the pinion up too high. I put in the 2.6 degree blocks I have but it's not quite enough and so I am thinking about doing the shims and stock blocks. I will look for some steel shims.

Are these the right size pins?

If you can get a set with 3/8" holes, you can always upsize the hole yourself if needed.

the best way is the shim bolted to the leaf pack, but it wont work out so well with the block. You can grind the locating pin off of the bottom of the block, then drill and tap it for a bolt, to bolt the shim to the bottom of it and be the locating pin.

Bronco graveyard has them also.

Why wouldn't the blocks work well with the wedge bolted to the bottom of the spring? It should be no different than if I added another leaf being its all bolted together.
