Shims and Shackles

[Civilian Jeep Five]

Hello, I was wondering if you all could help me out. I am a little confused with the installation of my lift. I got a 2.5" suspension lift, but it came with four shims, the only problem is that they are different sizes. I have two that are 2 degrees and two that are 2.5 degrees. They are also different widths and lengths. There are no directions so I am not sure which ones go where or if I even need them. I also have 3/4" lift shackles, they seem to taper a lot towards the bottom and I am not certain if they should taper that much. They go in somewhere around 1/2" on each side and it still barely touches the bushings on the leaf spring. I don't want to bend them too much if that's not how they should be, and I was wondering if maybe I should use some washers to space it out a little? Any input would be helpful and appreciated! Thanks

What brand lift kit ? Google to see if there are any on line. A lot of new items don't come with much but could be on line. Been a long time since I put mine on,but mine are only on the back

Those shims go between the axle and spring pack.
Use the 2.5* in the front with the thicker part towards the front.
Put the 2* in the back with the thicker section towards the rear.

If you're using aftermarket shackles, you will need to use bushing designed for aftermarket shackles. Don't attempt to pull the shackles in using the bolt.
