that wasn't biting your head off kid.
you don't want my advise.
someone else on this site might say something like:
make sure your tires n wheels are bolted to your axle. tires on the ground.
jack the truck back up from the FRAME this time.
put your lowering blocks on top of the bolt on your leaf spring
jack the truck high enough, till the lowering block is about to come into contact with the axle perch the spring used to rest on.
make sure the axle is pointed the right direction still... (that would be forward)
make sure the axle is sitting properly on the leaf spring bolt, and the block is aligned properly with the axle.
install the u bolts and lock washers, flat washers and nuts, and start to snug it up. now jack the truck up so the tires are off the ground and tighten your ubolts in an X pattern.
you can trim off excess u bolt that hangs real low, like 3/8" past the nut once its fully tightened. you don't want them to drag on the ground. it'll f**k stuff on your truck up.
