Let your alignment shop handle it, serious.

Shims come in different thicknesses...so an accurace answer isn't possible.

Re: Less one coil ?

I don't know how close I'm going to be and won't for a while yet. I added two each 3/16" shims to the original alignment on each mounting bolt. I just wanted to get close for the moment.

On a side note I bought the Energy suspension ball joint dust boot seals (part # 9.13126G). The uppers look good. The lowers will not seal.
