John,

If I remember correctly,you have an axle from a newer disk brake truck under the front of your truck.I have learned through experience that you cant just bolt these up to your stock springs without having far too much caster.The springs need flipped end for end.If you have newer springs it is easy.If you have stock springs the 2nd leaf needs cut back,as it interferes with the frame when put on the shackle end.

What you want with the newer axle is the leaf under the eye in front and over the eye in back.It makes a world of difference in steering ease.
