Use the shims. Back in the day, nobody used lift springs in the front, not around here anyway. Unless they were some rich farmers son, they had blocks. My truck still has 4" blocks that have been there 20 years or so. I know the last 2 PO's. I'm going to change them out for springs, because they are aluminium and starting to come apart. Anyway, my point is, worry yourself to death or put it together and ride. Hope you get that think going. The avatar pic looks mean.
