your local alignment shop or tire shop should have them. They will carry both angle shims and angled blocks to fit your needs.

Re: pinion angle correction blocks?

I know this is an old thread but I want to add 1" blocks in the rear to bring my rear down to level with the front. Should I get the angled blocks or am I ok with the regular one. I have 4" rear springs, shock relocators, and adjustable phb. Thanks.

First you need to know if your pinion angle is correct. To figure that out look here.
