Re: Balanced flywheel

[Wakeman Massie <wakey@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I few inches away from stock (up-or-down) can do it for sure.  Just ask the 
lifted 4WD guys.

I highly reccommend Tom Woods Driveshafts for angled leaf spring shims.  All 
the parts stores carry are crummy, die-cast aluminum shims.  Tom Woods has 
machined steel shims and he carries a wider variety of angles.  And they 
aren't that much more money.

Hope you figure it out!
