Problem #1
Ok, so I'm installing Rusty's 3" kit. Back Passenger side went decent, I suppose. It took a lot longer than I thought it would, but what doesn't. Driver's side rear, didn't quite go as planned. Couldn't get the axle low enough to the leafs back in without the brake line ripping out, so during my improvisation (?) I somehow bent the center pin pretty good right in the center. So, now the nut won't go all the way down. I got the leafs on and the U-bolts put back in place and everything is good to go except the center pin is not tightened down. Is this a problem? I've heard that this bolt is only used to keep the leafs aligned while bolting down the U-bolts. If this is true then after you get the U-bolts tightened down all the way, then theoretically you wouldn't need the center pin anymore, right? Its not like it can fall out or anything....????
Problem #2
Cannot figure out how to install this silly little "Z" bracket Rusty sent me to extend my brake line. All his directions say is remove the "E" clip and attach the "Z" bracket. From what I can tell my "E" clip does not come off of the frame. It appears to be welded. Any help or maybe a picture would be appreciated.
Thanks........
