Question about 4/6 drop!

[eric.s.t]

I got a question, about the leafs and the axle, do i have to take the top plate off the leafs? and then bolt the new braket that holds the axle to the leafs? of could i just sit it on top and us the u-blots to hold everything on? also, there is holes in that braket that hold the axle, but it isnt centered... do they go to the front or the back?

Take everything apart, there's a bolt in the middle of the leafs so it wot come apart. Set your cradle on top of the leafs and then the axle in it. The plate is goin go underneath, put everything in the off centered holes, as to move the axle to the rear of the truck. Do not use the center holes. This is the best pic I have if mine right now. It's real simple, just make sure your axle gets positioned in the holes as to move it to the rear of the truck

yeah, but on top of the leaf, there is a bracket on it... is it bolted in? i dont know how to make it clear, i should of taken a picture, its the bracket that holds the original u bolts.

Ok I know what you talkin bout now, that should not be bolted in, just has a hole that sits around the bolt. This piece here right? Probably just kinda stiff after bein on the truck for so long. Just find something to coax it off

I was hoping for next weekend but probably end f the month now. I'm waitin on an intake, from someone who is takin an eternity to ship it! And once I get it running, it's goin back to DRAGGIN95 for tie rod notches and shock mounts on the rear.

A month... that sucks, but then again, id rather see it done slowly and right instead of rushed . Looks like mine might be alittle while too .

 

[dropped93]

Yup, I had to tell myself yesterday to just wait instead of tryin to rush to get it together. It also gives me time to collect my thoughts an figure out exactly what I want to do or if I'm forgetting anything.
