Re: 1 Hellova High school Build

The "leaf spring" you are referring to is probably the panhard bar. It is supposed to make your rearend track straight I believe. They adjustable aftermarket ones for lowering and whatnot. You should definitely post up some pics!

DropKick,
but it has a single leaf thats mounted to the rear of the back axle to stop it from coming up ?

68350,
It's not the bar in which you speak of if it's a leaf.
I think your speaking of the over load spring that attaches to the backside of the frame at the bumper mounts and a single leaf that has a rubber bumper that is laying on the backside of the axle to help with heavy loads. There should be a metal plate holding the rubber bumper on the backside of the axle.

After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Re: 1 Hellova High school Build

Sounds like a cool truck. Welcome from North Carolina. I also started my truck when I was in high school, I'm a sophomore in college now. There are a lot of young people on here, I'm sure you'll find this place very useful
