To be honest I've got no clue, I've never had to use diff shims. I'm sure you could google diff shims and find the lift-to-shim ratio.

I just bought the 6 degree shims. Hopefully with the new yoke the shims on the bearing and the shims on the axle it should fix my problems.

Thanks a bunch brother. Pics after you get them on so I can see exactly how much it changes your driveline angle

Well I didn't use the degree shims when I got down there I realized my axle at a pretty high angle anyways. I think it's from the traction bars. I'm not sure though. And the spacer to lower the carrier bearing. I realized I have a braket that's about twice as big as the bracket yours bolted to. I think it came with the lift kit. I bought it lifted. I think my problem is my rear end is going out. I think the pilot bearing is going out. When I took the yoke off I could move the shaft around about a 1/2" in each direction. I don't have the time or money to do a rear end so I tightend up the yoke real good hopefully it will get me by.
