Re: Drive Shaft install question

Any chance the 52" rear springs were swapped out for longer ones? That would likely offset the rear axle, but would be noticeable if the body is mounted to the frame. FYI your rear leaf spring u bolts should be the square type when mounted from the top to bottom like that. Those ones would mount around the axle tube like chulisohombre said. I wouldn't take any chances when it comes to the drive train. I don't think the u bolts Would suck down as tight in that position. The piece sitting on top of the spring pack, and the saddle around the axle tube is correct with square bolts. If you keep the round u bolts you will need a plate that goes on top of the spring plate and run the u bolts up. If you go that route i may have a set of spring plates. Let me know.
