new bushings in the springs. who knew a hammer was so effective with pressing them in?? ready to go on the truck tommorow

well had some fun today. and got thrown for a loop at the same time. everything unbolted just fine for changing out the leaf springs. hardest part was gettin the new ones in tryin to feed it through the leaf spring topplate and the axle with the ubolts still on it. but it eventually got done without too many issues after i disconnected the front driveshaft. but when its at full droop, driveshaft no fit

so now it aint capable enough to go to the dogparty tommorow, and i was looking foreward to it too!!

pic is of how bad the old leafs were. they had to go
