So I bought a set of Rubicon Express 1410 add-a-leafs and I'm having a heck of a time installing them. It seems like the new leaf is too long? When I line the center pin holes up with the rest of the leaves it hits the front eye of the upper spring, any ideas? Should be simple enough but I'm stumped!

 

Show us some pics of what you mean

 

I'll post some up this evening after work thanks

 

Only way I can see that happening is if you are trying to install on top of the leaf pack.

AAL is installed in the pack under the main leaf. You have to disassemble your pack and insert the new leaf and reassemble with a new center pin. You will want a couple C clamps to hold the pack during dis/assembly.

If I am off ignore me.

 

No I am doing it exactly as you say, the front of the new spring hits the eye?

 

A full length AAL will sit under the eye and that is a good thing. I guess we will need pics.

 

OK I guess I will bolt it up and take pics this evening, stay tuned!

 

Top spring looks like 3-piece with upper and lower pieces wrapping around middle piece at eye?

 

 

OK, dthere is your problem. You don't have an OEM spring in there. So the solution is to use a cutoff wheel on a 4.5" angle grinder to trim the AAL

 

Would that mess anything up as far as my suspension goes?

 

No, just leave about a half to three quarters inch for the end to move towards the eye when compressing

 

Custom cut leafs work far better than factory. Something about the cutting Process alineing molecules in the spring steel
