Just installed the leafs and can't quite get the centerpins to line up. Also the spring perchs seem to be tilted forward/don't sit flush with the leaf pack. How do I fix this?

 

pics?

 

I'll take some tomorrow when its light out

 

Buy proper lift kit pcs.....lol....same center pins or new ones ?

 

I bought new center pins

 

It takes some muscle to get them lined up. The leaf springs will set flush on the spring perch once you tighten your u-bolts. I highly recommend some 4 degree shims to help with your driveline angle.

 

Ok I'll give it another shot in the morning and post pics because I don't think that when the center pins go in I don't think they'll sit flush. Are the shims pretty easy to do? I've never seen a writeup

 

Shims are easy, just slide them onto the center pin before the leaf springs. Fat end goes to the rear. You can find them on eBay fairly cheap. Tighten the center pin before you jack the axle back up. That will get them flushed up.

 

Damn so I have to take evvvvverything back off? Lol oh well as long as it'll fix it

 

did center pin fit into center hole on axlle pad ?

 

just clamp spring pack together remove pin install shim and bolt back tight

 

Yes I got the correct ones. I double checked them too

 

leafs are a bit longer on one side of the pin than the other.

you sure you have them positioned properly?

 

Cool pic jack. I Can't tell if you are driving to 7-11 or giving birth.

 

I wish we had 7-11's in KY!! That's an old school picture of uncle Ted man!
