:wave1:Just wondering, would it be easier to put the leafs on the axel then to the truck or should I mount the leafs to the truck then to the axel ? sorry if it doesnt make sense.
 
jeep, then to axle....much easier to roll the axle than move the whole jeep :)
 
Leafs first then jack the axel up to the springs and pull the axel up slow with the ubolts checking alignment of the plate ,ubolts and locator pins several times as you go.
 
Lube all attach points for a long time.
Use heat and pray you don't break a bolt or bust a nut (weld) in the hidden pocket.
attach to jeep,then axle X2

I used 8# RBFH 13/16 combo wrench and heat
