front pinion shims

ok i know you are not supposed to use left blocks on the front axle becuase you can hit the brakes and they could pop out and other reasons . i got a really goofy pinion angle on my front diff could i use pinion shims on the front axle to correct this ? i know it will change my caster angle and the center tie rod would be pushed down and the steering arm to steering box linkage could be on a bind . it would only be one shim a 2 deg 4 or 6 the less of a degree i got to use the better .I have ord longer shackels on the front and i know by doing this i casued this issuse . right now my front drive shaft is hitting the crossmeber and the pinon yoke still sits about 1 inch to 1 1/2 inches below the drive shaft .
