Nobody's going to see how much shim you have under the rad support but a poor fit around the cowl,hood and fenders will surely be noticed. A little more shim under the rear cab mounts will help tip it forward a little bit and reduce what you need under the rad support. Do a search for hood alignment and there is a step by step page that has been posted many times. If you're happy with the fit across the cowl and hood sides then you can start moving the fenders around. The rod distance in the manual is only a starting point. I started over at least 6 times and I'm still not 100% happy. Worn hood hinges/springs can really foul it up too. Good luck.
