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.
