Can someone post a walkthrough of the easiest way to replace the leaf spring assembly? I see the bolts in the eyes that go through the brackets look hard to remove (frame is in the way)???
Thanks

Buy new bolts from Ford, back the nut off as much as you can, cut the bolt head off with a sawzall, punch the bolt out, put the new bolt in from the outside.

If you jack up the lead springs there should be a hole that the bolt slides through, that's how I changed my 1" brackets to lift the back of my truck a little bit

shouldn't be any cutting because how are you gonna get your new bolts in

^ you put them in opposite of the how the factory had them

Does anyone know the size of the bolts? I would really like to have the new ones before I go cutting the old ones off.
I did see that they call for HB1 and HB2 on fordparts.com, but no sizes and can't order from there. I did find a site that had those bolts listed, but when I got them, the rear bolts are way too short.

Try tasca ford parts website. Just find the corresponding part number they have listed on the parts diagram and bam you're on your way.

If I use factory bolt from dealer and turn it around so bolt head is on the outside will the bolt be too long and bolt hit the fuel tank when I put it through? Will I need a shorter bolt to make it work this direction?
