Truck is in the garage!

he said in an earlier post that it is off centered one side will tuck and other will not. i believe he has been monoleafed for a few years so it may not be perfect.

Bingo. I already have center lines on my frame for the diff i just need to undo the ubolts drop the leafs center it then weld it to the frame. I made a level line across my driveline to my pinion shaft so I can make sure the pinion level comes out right at ride height.

Lookin good... Keep us posted

Well got it centered tonight


pinion angle set at ride height...

centered...

tacked into place...

Started to pull the main leafs but decided to call it a night.

leaf springs are the most uncentered of anything lol lance, come on. you know better, and tackin up the actual axle? why, when you can tack a u-bolt upside down and it will hold the axle in place and allow for movement if necessary.


trucks lookin good so far, i would cut the frame rails out before starting your link though, mainly because you need to measuer for pinion angle throughout all ride heights, making sure there is minimal play, just my .02

also about being centered, mazda axles from the factory arent centered, because of where they placed there motors, they have a factory offset, dont member what it is, but just so you know.

lookin good man.

Nice work.

Ya they also come stock with like 5 inches in between the fender and the top of the tire!! lol I helped my buddy center his when he re did the four link on his mazda and he has no driveabilty
problems and clears his bed when aired out. I don't want to have to roll the fender lips on my bed and risk dents and what not and I don't have enough to pick up a 4x4 bed and fenders right now.

So think it would be ok to toss my bridge in and do my upper and lower bag mounts until I get the metal to make my cross member for my four link?
