The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Leaf Springs

Two questions....
1) Do the bushings in the leaf springs & shackles get reamed like the king pin bushings. I'm am wondering about all of them (The threaded ones & the Non-threaded ones). Front & rear.

2) Does any catalog sell the U shaped ""clamps" that hold the individual leafs together, not sure what these are called. Picture That picture is the rear. The front do not have a bolt holding them, they clamp down.

No, the spring bushings do not have to be reamed unless you bugger them up putting them in. The spring clamps are available as universal ones. I believe your local parts store can get them.
