My hd leaf pring packs are on the way and I'm mentally going through the installation of my bastard packs which will consist of my existing mains wedded to the new HD packs. I'll reference the rockliz write-up as well as the showthread write-up on this website. One thing I'm really stuck on, and it probably reveals my reading comprehension problem/overall greenness, has to do with dropping the axle. As I understand the ubolt pairs from both passenger and driver sides along with the ubolt plates are removed prior to installation of the new packs.
Specifically, what I'm having a hard time understanding is what prevents the axle from just rolling forward off the floor jack(s) on to the floor, snapping the brake lines in the process? Also, when the time comes to raising the axle back up, isn't it problematic positioning the axle just right to reattach it to the vehicle?
