How to add a leaf?

Is there a technical explanation on how to add a leaf spring as well as shocks?

Yes.

Try Backyard mechanic!
AAL installation!

No one knows how to search????

I give up!

Try this... It's part of a 3" lift write-up

I read the installation above.....how do you align the back axle?...since you put the center leaf bolt in correctly?

I used my jack...

I have the same question. Why do you need an alignment from just changing the leaves? Second, how do align a solid rear axle (never heard of this before)?

Thanks,

Not that kind of alignment.

Think about it, when you undo the u-bolts and seperate the axle from the leafpack, the axle can 'float' back and forth. It's kinda tough to align it right back over the centerbolt, takes some muscle or other tools like a jack.

Actually, if you are refering to the last line of that page, the directions were for a lift, T-bars were changed or cranked in previous steps.. the alignment is for the front.
