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!

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.

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
