With the lines hooked up and the new fuel line anti seized and tight on both ends. Before bolting the tank all the way up i started the truck and let it idle for a few mins to make sure no leaks existed.

When i took the gas tank out it only had 3 of the 6 bolts holding it up. Instead of mox matching i bought new stainless bolts and washers for it. The factory thread for these is M8x1.25

With fitment of leaf springs good i could weld everything out. Set the axle back on jackstands. Unbolt the axle and pull the leaf springs back out.

I was going for 25° or less wanting to get more lift out of these to help with the front height. Ended up landing at 28° or so, close enough and they state anything from 20-40° is acceptable depending on what ratio of lift vs flex you want out of the springs.

The front of the mount happend to be right at center of the old mount. Using large vise grips i did both sides at same time. This way i could set them both perfectly to where i wanted them. Do not use the rear end of the frame for reference measurements. I learned on my 4runner and same for this that the ends of the frame rails are not perfectly square with each other. Instead i used the old feont leaf spring mount and bed body mount on the frame as a secondary to be sure.

With floor jack under rear axle. Jacked the axle up and placed the wood between the spring and frame. Then jacked up just untill the weight of the truck was off the jack stands. This allowed the springs to take the weight and then hold the shackle up to it. Was able to get the bottom shackle bolt to just go i sode leaf spring. Then with angle finder i marked roughly where i wanted the mount.
