shims 5 & 6 degree

Before I order some metal stock to make some shims for my truck, does anyone know of any place that sells 3 inch wide shims with a 5 or 6 degree angle?

Not looking to weld two sets of 2.5's together...

Thanks!

For 5-6 degree in 3 inches it is sounding like they need to be custom made.

I'll report back when I put in the national 4 degree's, I'm not expecting much though.

Got the shims and they are not a bolt on type deal at all. They are for a mopar looking at the box and the shim has a tiny hole on it made for a single center pin. I machined these guys to make them fit with the dual pin setup, pretty easy. The vibration is a little bit better but it is still there Starts to come back a bit around 80+. I'd guess a 6 degree would make it a little bit better but I could be wrong.

I'll have to pony up for a new drive line here in a bit.
