I wish POMs were 15x7

Find a good alignment shop in your area. One that the body shops use to straighten frames. They generally understand how to do a real alignment. I use these guys (for reference) http://www.frameandaxle.com

Dealer sells camber bolts, washers, nuts. Really common. Might need a hot wrench to get them out. I had to do 4 of them.

what size tires are those upgrades?

2.0l it appears. 5 speed 4x4 narrow block transmission is what you are thinking? Not available I don't believe. You are stuck with a 4 speed. Like me. I have an '83 MM 4x4 & 2.0l as well.

OME medium springs. Go with Bilsteins. You will hate KYBs (Kill Your Backs) in the Gen 3. Buy once, cry once.

Unless you are dead set on hoping in and driving a new to you old rig with a boat load of miles and no chase vehicle, I would seriously consider having it shipped. You can dump a grand quickly stranded somewhere. 2 one way airline tickets - $400 (estimate - didn't price them but seems every...

I hated KYB shocks in the Gen 3. You pay shipping I'll give you (or anybody) a pair (rear) with 5K miles on them to try.

Agreed on the Medium OME springs. I've heard the Bilsteins are back in stock in the USA for the Gen 3 front.

Tires, tire width, ball joints, bushings and alignment. Make sure that when you go for an alignment that you go to a real alignment shop. Someone who understands and knows how to set camber. Most places these days set toe and call it good (it won't be). Have a few extra camber bolts...

GLWYS.

cliffs notes: size?

This is a good idea. behind the panel doesn't look that different than a Gen 2. I think it could be done and would be a great mod.

my bad, you are correct. Gen 3 9.5" is 33 spline.

35 spline?

did you solve your issue? If not I just realized that I may have a couple in a 9.5" carrier that I'll be scrapping soon. How thick are the shims you seek?

I have the CS023R rear springs ready to go into my '83 as soon as I finish getting my rear differential together.

I don't think ADD stocks Siberians for the Gen 3 unfortunately. However there are various available on the Siberian web site.

not exactly what you need, but perhaps call a local to you bearing supply house: https://www.thebearingcompany.co.uk/product.php?id_product=7348

I just googled that part number. Why on earth is a shim $60 +/-?
