I've got the plates installed on the bottom of the leaf springs with the longer bolts. My concern is with removing the poly pads the head of the bolt will hit the bracket that is welded to the axle. Do i need to use the top pad and just remove the bottom? or what?

You shouldn't need any leaf pad. The spring perch has a locator hole in it if the head on your leaf bolt is to long it might hit the axle tube. If this its the case you'll need to take a bit of material off the head of the leaf bolt. I know they sell leaf bolts with different length heads. I think I used a bolt with a 1/4 inch head. The head of the leaf bolt has to go in that locator hole. If it doesn't your rear will be able to move around.

Jason no locating hole. I'm going to use the pad and see how it goes.

What perch is on your rear? Running that pad totally defeats the purpose.

Get a pic of the bottom of the perch if you can.

Here's a pic

Is that a factory mono leaf perch? It's hard to tell from the pic but it looks just like the perch that was on my stock mono leaf 10 bolt. If that is the case then there is no need for the spacers. The "channel" on the mono leaf perch is much shallower than the multi leaf perch. If it is a mono leaf perch take a look at DSE's kit. I was running this with my stock 10 bolt before going to the moser rear.

I really don't think the poly pad will help you if that is the mono leaf perch. The head on the leaf bolt needs a place to go and you will be able to compress the poly pad to the point that the head of the bolt will be pressed up against the perch.

PM me for my phone # if you want me to further explain..

Yes it's a 10-bolt rear end and there is no hole so the car probably is a mono leaf rear. I understand what you are saying.
In looking at the kit where do the spacers go between the perch and lower shock plate?

JMitch19 07-03-2011 01:46 PM

Yes, and the plate with the hole in it goes on top of the leaf spring.

Again thanks for the help.
