we took off the back and front leaf springs. Got the back ones back on but the front ones won't go back on. Cant get shackle mount wide enough to put the end of the spring in to bolt it on. Kinda hard to explain it, sorry. We tryed hammering it in and it won't slide in place.

If we grinded off a little bit on the metal sleeve that inside the very front bushings would that hurt anything?

going out there tonight... need help asap!!!!
