Remove the u bolts and the center pin and bend back the leaf spring pack clamp. It'll allow the pack to come apart and the axle to drop from the truck. The top leaf will stay attached to the shackles. Leave the shock absorbers bolted in-no need to remove them

 

i dont believe mine has the clamp is only a 2/1 pack

 

There should be factory one that looks like this

 

I seriously dont have them i just checked heres a pic

 

See the allignment pin at the end of your second leaf? That's where a factory one should go so I would see if you could purchase one for sure. I'll take a pic of mine

 

Put a jack stand under each end of the axle for it to rest on also. Oh and I just remembered on the top ubolt plate, the center hole where the leaf pack pin come through had to be opened up a little with a drill because the new pin nut was bigger than the factory one. Easy fix.

 

Yep. Or balance it under the pumpkin, do one at a time

 

Will that add a leaf ive got go out that far by the time I get it compressed as in to where the clips will meet with that alignment pin?

 

I edited my last post go read it, nothing major, but good to know in advance.

 

Ok thanks that is good to know
