A couple thoughts about shims (because you are probably going to need to do some shimming):

1 - we used to shim to trends, not individual vehicles. So the guys would tape a packet of shims together and run that all day until the repair area at the end of the line would yell at us. At that point we would create a new setup and run that until something required a change. There just wasn't time to stop and look at every truck.

You will want to set it on there and observe and adjust. Also - I have taken a front end off and put it back on, only to find it needed different shims than what was just on there. So just because you took them off and preserved the locations doesn't mean that's what it will want going back together.

2 - shims can go under the rear vertical bolt (to set your up/down at the door), behind the upper horizontal bolt (sets in/out at the top) and behind the bottom bolt (sets in/out at the bottom). We never shimmed at the front although I suppose a person could.
