9 leaf spring
I went to install a new 9 leaf rear spring only to discover it is going to take about a 1/2" longer bolts (the 4 in the housing). This is w/ spring compressed against rear end housing w/ floor jack. Any one else run into this ? It's no big deal I will just get some longer bolts Monday. This spring does have rubber liners instead of plastic.

Re: 9 leaf spring (mlub)
Hey Mike, I was referring to the 4 center bolts.(Not the springhangers) Have you checked to see how close the end of your bolts come to tire sidewall ? Be careful.
