leaf spring tie bolts

[minendrews68]

Does anyone know what is used to gain a little height on the leaf spring tie bolts? I am putting a tapered shim between the spring and the spring perch on the rearend to get a better angle between the rear end yoke and the trans yoke. I'm just wondering what to do because after the shim goes in the top of the tie bolt comes even with the top of the shim. This doesn't allow the head of the bolt to go into the spring perch hole on the rear end. I've thought about putting a spacer under the head of the bolt, holding the head up off the spring. This would allow the head to go farther into the spring perch hole. What do you guys think?

Thanks,
