Thanks for sharing the pics. Maybe someone could show some detail pics of where the rear shackle hanger was moved, possibly with dimensions? (Or is that little detail included with the kit instructions?) Can't wait to do this.
No worries. it's not your fault and I do not expect you to comp me shims. As you said 1/3 people need them, so including them in the kit would just be a waste of money on your part. I appreciate the generous offer, but it isn't necessary.
The kit does come with a part diagram showing which parts go where and recommending to move the rear perch back 5"
But I insist!
Bringing up an old thread.
This is my 1977 FJ55V.
HZJ75R Leaf Springs.
2" Superior Engineering Shackles.
Rear Shackles relocated 120mm *no photo yet.
Shackles will be reduced in height to show the difference and work with better suspension articulation.

I'm looking to refurbish my OME springs and I was having difficulty locating new leaf spring clip liners. Given that several 55 owners have gone this route and will need at some point to replace these liners, I thought this thread the best place to add this information.
As some of you might know, I am in the middle of a frame off of the 55 that was once owned by BBQ Boy. It appears he bought the OME springs from Cruiser Outfitters in 2015 (post #94). According to ARB, CS006F and CS006R need spring liner kit CLK57 and CLK39 respectively (so two sets of each total). Unfortunately it appears that those are discontinued. There is a 2 meter generic kit, part# R274BK. I found it in Australia for $9US but shipping is around $70US. I also found it in another US vendor's stock list for a similar price but they are currently out.
Kurt (@cruiseroutfit), I reached out to your staff today and they were very helpful in getting the generic kit ordered from ARB USA. Unfortunately they are out of stock and waiting on a shipment from Australia but these are easy to slip in at anytime. Also it's less than $10 so well within my budget!
