how to put the axle back on
#7
Well, you have to do some figuring... there is no set dimension. Might try searching to see what others have done.
When I put rear leaves on my 4Runner, I had to figure out the axle position when the springs were under load. To do that, we took one wheel off, and put the leave under the axle, so the ends were on the ground.
Then, we lowered the jack until the vehicle was level. We then could measure the length of the spring once load was applied and do some math from there. Worked out well. My wheels drop right into the wheel wells.
Keep you shackle length and angle in find and adjust your spring mounts accordingly.
