I am putting on a pair of 1997 expo leafs and there are a couple questions I gotta ask do you need to use different u-bolts or just stock ones? Do i have to flip the centering bolt? anything else i might need to know? I read the how to for it but it doesnt really go into deep detail about the swap just the basics or is that all i need to know.

 

Are you keeping your stock block? Should be fine with ubolts. If not, then you'll need shorter ones.
Shouldn't have to flip the centering bolt there should be fine clearance.

 

alrighty thx you ill start the swap now. and ill post pics to keep you guys happy, upgrading my ranger one step at a time.

 

awesome. You'll lift that rear pretty good if you're keeping the stock blocks.
Take lots of pictures or you didn't do the swap

 

i noticed that on these springs that i got that on the ends where the rubber grommets are one side is bigger which side should i put the shackle on?

 

The only side the shackle will slide on to??
lol, the big bushing goes towards the front...the shackle won't bolt onto it.

 

oh well, my bad i dont really know sh!tzle about leaf springs but thx tho lol.

 

the smaller end had the shackle on expo

 

here are the pics i promised you guys its all bolted up and back together. i got a lift out of it. i kept the blocks. ill take pictures of the truck a lil later.
