Stock rear springs: putting them back in... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Has anyone else had one hell of a time getting the stock rear springs bolted back onto the trailing arms and onto the frame???

Man, what a pain. Getting them onto the trailing arms was easy, but once I jacked them up the top pigtail came no where near the hole in the frame. I had to use a bottle jack against the axle to push them far enough, then slowly work the bolt and clamp into place until it was tight....

Anyone know what to torque the bolts to?
