Hi All,
I just received a set of new leaf springs, hangers, and shackles and am doing my driver's side for the first time. I also went ahead and picked up new U-Bolts. Trying to reinstall everything, I'm noticing my non-OEM leaf pack that sits on the axle block will not fit through the U-Bolt retaining plate. That same nut on the OEM leaf pack slips right through. Not sure the original size nut, but the new pack looks to be 18mm.
Should I just drill through the OEM cover plate or was I supposed to replace that when I picked up the new U-Bolts?
(U Bolts are still 1/2" x 3" Round)
