Default Need A Pinion Shim

Where can I find pinion shims that will fit our Dana 80 axles. I need a 2-3 degree shim in mine now.

I've tried everyplace I can find and even ordered a set from Summit that was labeled as 3 inches wide. Now that they are in my hands they are only 2 1/4 inches wide.

Everyplace I have talked to sells them for the 2 1/2 in wide springs, even the ones listed as for the Cummins are mislabeled just like all the poly fittings for these springs.

With all the lifted trucks out there, what are you guy's using to correct your pinion angles since I can't find shims anyplace.
