70mackMB Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 You don't have a spring shop near you? .....Hippy Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75873-top-leaf-spring-help/#findComment-581038 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark T Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 Did you have the center bolts out ? If you did and had the springs apart and are using them, probably wouldn't hurt to take a flap disc and polish off the edges so the springs slide on one another. If they dig in, they'll break. Then you'll be taking it all apart again. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/75873-top-leaf-spring-help/#findComment-581041 Share on other sites More sharing options...
