Leaf Spring Questions

Be careful doing up the u bolts, do each nut a little at a time and try to keep them square, I strip them all the time.

The bolts and brackets are prone to bending, and with the extra leaf its worse.

it was tricky getting the shocker plate lined up with the u bolts, i had 2 jacks under the plate and another jack under the diff.

If they are anything like on my old KE35, be careful. Used to bend the shock mount a bees dick which would break the bottom off the shock after about 6 months.
