Crooked leaf springs.
I have a 51 3100 axle I am using on a custom build. I am building a tube frame so have no refrence. I bolt up my superslides meant for this axle and they are not square with the front axle.
I have the bolts loose and can wiggle the springs a bit. The closest I can get them is with the rear 29.5 outside eye to outside eye and the front is 27.25 outside eye to outside eye. Is this right?

Re: Crooked leaf springs.
I don't have an AD assembly manual, but looking at this from the specifications manual the bottom center sketch seems to show the springs following the inward taper of the frame. Maybe some one with a FAM can get you the exact dimensions.
