Is this what you are asking about?

Most alignment shops should have some, NAPA used to carry them. Check some off road truck shops or your local spring shop.

There are dozens of them on Ebay, cheap. Search "front axle caster shim". Don't let the resto-ripoff guys put the vacuum cleaner in your pocket!

You can get them direct from the manufacturer. I got mine from Ingalls. http://www.ingallseng.com/leaf-spring-wedges/
You will want to consider putting new center pins in your springs while you're at it.
