Caster Shims

Ran the old 74 CJ5 for the first time today after installing a 2" shackle lift. The CJ5 wanted the whole road and more. I figure that my caster is off. Where can I buy some caster shims at a good price?

Might contact McRuff. He was making steel ones. Might still be. Stay away from the aluminum pos's. They crack and split down the middle. Nickmil

 

I order some from NAPA a few years ago. I can't remember if they were aluminum or steel. I didn't use them. I cut my spring perch's off and rewelded them, after setting the caster. I thought they were just something else to come loose. I think a new set of spring perch's were about the same price as the shims, IIRC.

 

I still make them, in fact I made some 5* shims to put on firefighter mikes cj6 last thursday. The ones I make bolt on to the spring pack.
Where in Alabama are you located?

 

I have 2 or 2-1/2 lift shackles. What would you suggest and what would be the cost for a pair that fits the 1.75" 74 CJ5 Springs?

Thanks

 

Anyone have any stock shackles (4) for the 74 CJ if shims don't work out?

 

The stock shackles can be gotten from here:http://www.jeepdoc.com/catalog/zproducts.asp?id=199
They are $6.99 a set, you will need 2 sets for the front.
