Google "bastard pack", or search it on this forum using the search key above.
This is the cheap way to get some spring back in the leaves.
You might have to try it a few ways to get it right though.

its a learning experince doing this as long as the spring is 2.5 inches wide it willfit as for the lift all springs will be different
you should be able to look and see were the tire is hitting. but in the rear thats weird i could see the front because the axle moved some. maby hit a small mud hole then look to see were the mud is rubbed off. are you shure it's not your brakes? try readjusting your parking brake the lift might have pulled the cable tight
