I noticed while installing my restored front axle assy into my truck yesterday that top portion of the shock support plates doesn't sit really flush with the underside of the axle. Looks like an extra U bolt washer is dying to fit in between.

I also remember a thread not too long ago talking about how there is normally washers on the back U bolts of the front leafs but not the front due to the length of the U bolt and the introduction of the shock support plate. My replacement U bolt are so long I was able to have washers all around.
