I got my S10 leaf springs for free. I need to get a center pin for them. I stopped at Autozone, Advance, O'reillys and a local auto parts store. None of them had the pin or even had a part number. I looked in Napa's site and saw these, http://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/Ca...128_0006527419, is this what I want?

Advanced auto has centering pins. Youll want a 3/8" pin and then drill out the xj main center hole to 3/8"

I'll check another Advance then. The one close to the house didn't have it.

I just grind down the head on a 3/8 grade 8 bolt till it fits in spring perch...

I drilled my mount on the axle to fit the new head. drilling the xj main was a pain in the A$$. 15 dollar cobalt bit and a lot of cutting oil.

I used head bolts with the round hex head as center bolts. Never had an issue.

Either a grade 8 hex head or take a regular grade 8 bolt and chuck it in a drill and spin it against a grinding wheel to round it down to fit the perch.

JeepingDan

^ Yup!

Thats what I did fits better imo. With a 3/8s center pin I had to drill out the perch for my new springs
