Ahhh ok sorry I should have knows 3" wide..lol sorry its been a long day

 

I know the feeling lol. Theyre probaly gonna want to know what size the u bolt is as well.

 

Yeah I had it all written down too lol and now I lost it AHHHHHH! lol my day gets better

 

When it's done it's worth it.

 

Yeah I mean I have all the nuts and crap broke loose. I just have to figure out where the new aal goes in place on the rear leafs and ill bve golden.. The fronts are easy as heck to do.

 

Ahh sweet found my info for the u bolts... Squared u bolt, 5/8" thread and 3" wide

 

Since you are getting new ones made.... might wanna consider doing the 'u-bolt flip', so that the nuts are up on top, and you don't have the ends of the bolt sticking down, to catch on various things.

 

Ok, trucks back, here's a pic of what my rear springs look like. This is a 96 8800lb GVW truck.



Yes, I need new shocks.....

 

Ok I def have an extra 2 leafs ontop of the main leaf pack

 

Someone installed some overload springs.

Put the AAL in the spot that seems appropriate in the leaf pack that is stock. (the one that looks like mine.) Should be golden.

I am rather curious to hear how it rides afterward as well, as my truck rides like.... well... a Truck.... with just the stock springs in there..... Put a couple thousand pounds of dirt in the bed though, and it rides like a Cadillac.
