Thanks for the link, it was real informative and a big help.

The only question it didn't answer is the one I am looking for- how do you bolt the axle, with it's perches designed for 3 inch springs, to a 2.5 inch spring? Do you just use the 3 inch hardware? Does the loss of .5 inch (or .25 on each side of the spring) hurt anything?
