Use your tape wisely. I kinda messed up on one of my rears bc I didn't take time to tape it precisely. Bring it by my house I'll help you trim of you help me go doorless haha

I'm looking to pick up a set of Durango rear leaf set. They look funny but thought they may flex well.
Since the Durango is much heavier of vehicle how well was this mod?
My question is:
1. How to they flex?
2. How did you center the axle, did they bolt up well in center of the wheel wells?
3. Did you use all 5 leaves in the pack?
4. My leaf pack stock measures 50" I have found the Durango pack at 53"
How is the shackle angle?
