Rear Trailing arm Shims Question [pic]

I forgot to take note of how many shims were on the brackets that attach the rear trailing arms to the frame. I stuck two in there but is there a better number of shims I should start with and when I get it running I can add or subtract as needed?

There is no "right" number. You can eyeball the rear wheels to see if they are running straight, but in the end, only a good 4 wheel alignment shop can make the final adjustments.
 
With new bushings etc it will and the adjustable TA mounts as ray said it will need a 4 wheel alignment. You've love how it handles afterward.
