In addition, you will notice it will be extremely difficult to access the leaf spring mount nuts
once the subframe connector is in place. To alleviate this problem, you will need to weld bolts
onto the subframe connectors so you can fasten everything from the rearward side of the
mount. Procedure to follow…
Steps:
- Remove the front leaf spring mounts from each leaf spring
- Remove the 4 studs that are pressed in the mount (If you are installing Hotchkis leaf springs,
then you will be able to use the Hotchkis mount instead)
- Mock up the leaf spring bracket and the subframe connectors to get proper bolt locations.
This will require the following from your local hardware store:
- Grade 8 - 3/8” - 24 x 1.5 hex bolts (qty.8)
- Grade 8 - 3/8” SAE washers (qty. 16)
- Grade 8 - 3/8” - 24 nylock nuts (qty.8)
