Did yours come with new clips/clamps?

 

No it came with just the leafs and tie bolts

 

The ones I got from 4wheelparts came with the clips to hold the springs together but the just have tabs that you hammer over. One has already come off, so they are not very good. I plan on getting square u shaped bolts to fit as a replacement.

 

So yours are terrible pieces you could almost bend by hand too?

 

exactly

 

Well im too chicken to mess with the suspension so im goin to let my local truck shop do it they told me they wouldnt charge much so im lettin them do it so I know itll be right

 

A shop should be able to do it in an hour tops, so if they charge you more than $100 it's to much. I did mine in about an hour and a half and I've never done it before, but I do have air tools. If you have that and 2 big c clamps it's pretty easy. You can get big c clamps at harbor freight for $5 a piece. Post some before and after pics.

 

I will and I have all the tools to do it just really dont feel like messin somethin up like of I do something I dont wont my axle to fall out from under me but here is a before pic


Idk its upside down cause on my camera its the right way

 

Seriously, he right. Save yourself a tank of gas and a case of beer and do it yourself. It's extremely simple and straight forward and jollyrogrr and I would be happy to walk you through it

 

alright ill attempt to do it. first things first do i have to completely drop the rear axle or just take the ubolts off and go from there?
