More fun last few days, dragged that Rt RR spring back out, removed the TWO extra leaves from the main stack then went to install, well my new Ubolts were short, only half a nut engagement when tight. I have ordered ubolts for YEARS and always managed to get the correct dimensions(measured L Rr to get adequate for a spacer removal), remeasured the spring pack compared to the left, Same, then it showed, the Overload has had an Extra leaf added as well the spring Genies added a 1/2" spacer block Under the OL pack that sit upon the regular stack. Back out those came, ground the weld away and split the spacer, removed the extra OL leaf and TADA ubolts all good with 5-7 clean threads beyond the high nut AFTER torque up. Wrestled Left side apart, that center bolt was already sheared, presumably off the oddball way they were loading this machine, out came that pack and restack, all good, thread counts similar L-R. I really do not like Imagineering on sensitive components like suspension.
Got energetic, pulled the Rt Fr as it ALSO had been over-stacked, pulled three Extra leaves from it that were not only Extra but Thicker 1/2" compared to 7/16", reassembled and reinstalled and now awaits the new ubolts I will pickup AFTER Deer season this weekend. Still have to drag out the L Fr as it has 2" of added spacing under the spring to make up for the extra Rt side leaves that will have to come out but won't leave the axle fully loose and will await the new u-bolts. Will be Back to stock height AND ride by Friday.
