What shims with a 4/6 kit

Been wanting to do this ever since I got the truck. Sitting that high with no sway bar makes driving this this thing aggresive is near impossible. The few times I got it side ways with my open rear end it feels like it wants to flip. I made myself a promise that I would stiffen this thing up before putting a posi unit in it. Any ways I'm going to pick up some shims to even this thing out for the ride to the alignment shop (work) Any body know what will get the camber close close? 1.5 springs and spindles. Thanks.

I always just take a big carpenter's square and put it between the ground ands ide of the tire, then add shims until it sits straight up and down. That will get you very close.
