This will allow room for expansion of the foam and will minimize squeeze out. Apply sealant across the interior surface of shims to create a continuous seal. Follow foam manufacturer's instructions. For doors with jamb extensions installed, ensure the foam is placed between the door frame and the and the rough opening, not between the jamb extension and the rough opening.

Note: DO NOT apply foam to the lower 6" of each jamb. (see 5D).
