Um.... All-nighter I'm going to build a lift kit for my truck home made lift?

All I can see is that the upper a-arm needs to be removed.
And those clamp deals on the leaf springs.
Probably some adjustment on the torsions to lower.

I seriously hope that's all the work that they performed on the suspension.

Not sure but those angles are horrible. It has to ride horrible. Guessing a lot is going to need to be replaced in that front end.

Its rides terrible. Which leafs should come out? I assume one was a add a leaf and the bottom is just a junk helper leaf. The front we be decranked tommorow.

Not sure which one comes out but the bottom one honestly looks like a piece flat steel added to lift it a bit more, I could be wrong though.

My 88 2wd had that big flat helper at the bottom. I took it out and it rides a lot better and it leveled the truck out.

Snapped a pic of my leafs for reference.
Looks like I was wrong about the clamp deals.
Those bolt on styles must have been part of the add-a-leaf kit, if it was even a store bought add-a-leaf.

Can see now that your second leaf (first against the primary) is the added leaf.


The flat spring is the OE overload spring.
