If you are shimming at the leaf spring to increase castor, you are going to change your pinion angle. For some people it is easier to visualize pinion angle than castor angle.

I questioned Hemi saying thick side forward to increase caster, and he said no. That is why I asked what I was missing.
Okay, get it. I do know the changing the caster will change the pinion angle. My wording was bad. Meant, the reason he is using the shims is not for pinion angle. Ujoint bind should not be a problem with the small lift and increased caster, none the less I would still check.
