Leaf spring pins
Ok I got the leafs from a s10 to do my bastard pack today,But I guess from what I have read it seems the s10 center pin is 3/8 and the XJs is 5/16,I am just adding the main from the s10 under my xj main,Do I need to drill all my leafs out to 3/8? Or since its just 1 s10 leaf can I get away with the 5/16?

Finished the bastards!
Just thought I would say thanks for all the advice,I finished my bastard pack today and I added a black widow roof basket.Drilling those leafs wasnt too bad,just had to remember to go slooooooww.They say stock measurements from wheel center to bottom of the flare is 17" I got 20"1/2 so I guess I got 3 1/2"s of lift.But it looks a little raked toward the front.Do you think it will settle some in the rear?Again thanks for the in put I never would have tackled this on my own
