TTB Front End Alignment Shims

I,ve got an '81 Bronco(351,c-6,Quad shocks). I'm installing a 4" Superlift w/extended radius arms and lifted rear springs. While I'm at it I figured I'd replace all bushings and the ball joints. What alignment shims should I use. I've heard 2 degrees is correct, but i wanted to double check. Or should I go with the adjustable type?
Thanks

I've always been partial to having as much adjustment available up there as possilbe...never know when something is gonna get bent, shifted, etc and if its not bad, you can adjust the shims to compensate at least until you can replace the component.

Definitely get the adjustable if you are lifting. I used the 2 3/4 degree adjustables and it still wasn't quite enough.
