Construction & Design

The SPC Shims Kit features meticulously crafted shims made from high-quality, corrosion-resistant materials. The 1/8" thick shims are designed to provide a reliable and consistent spacer solution that maintains its shape and strength over time. The precise manufacturing process ensures a perfect fit and easy installation, reducing the risk of misalignment or movement during vehicle operation.

The design of these shims allows for straightforward placement between the spring hanger and the spring, enabling fine-tuning of suspension geometry without the need for extensive disassembly. Their compact size and durable construction make them suitable for both street and off-road applications, providing a versatile solution for suspension correction and alignment refinement.

Performance & Sound

While the SPC Performance Specialty Shims Kit primarily focuses on suspension alignment and geometry correction, proper installation can lead to noticeable improvements in vehicle handling, tire wear, and overall stability. Correctly aligned suspension components help ensure that your vehicle responds predictably and maintains optimal contact with the road or trail surface. Although these shims do not directly influence sound, a properly aligned suspension can reduce uneven tire wear and vibrations, contributing to a smoother driving experience.

Installation & Fitment

The SPC Shims Kit is designed for straightforward installation. Typically, the shims are placed between the spring hanger and the spring to adjust the lateral position of the axle. No specialized tools are required beyond standard hand tools, making it accessible for DIY enthusiasts and professional technicians alike. The process involves removing the spring hanger, inserting the shim, and reassembling the components, ensuring the axle is centered and the suspension geometry is corrected.

It is important to verify the specific fitment requirements for your vehicle before installation. These shims are compatible with a variety of models that require lateral or thrust angle adjustments, especially during suspension lifts or leveling kits. Always follow manufacturer instructions and safety precautions during installation.
