Swapped the snow plow springs for the variable springs. Shocks seems weak again but will have to run them. Snow plow springs put front receiver 28 1/2” from ground to bottom of the opening. Initial measurement was that the softer springs dropped the front 1/2”. Swapped out center tie bolts on the rear spring packs to put the 1/2” bolts in like they should have had. The passenger side had to be taken apart and the hole enlarged on the add a leaf to let the bolt go through. Ruined one new tie bolt trying to get them to line up. Glad I bought extras. Ratchet strapped the axle to the rear to try and get it back in alignment. Will have to get the truck aligned this week. Torqued the tie bolts to 30+ to pull the packs together. Somewhere around 40ft lbs compressed the as they should be so this looks better than the 15 for lbs from the internet it should hold the packs better and help with the alignment. The softer springs added rake and more weight to the front end already.
