Seeking some help on process of removing and installing leaf springs. Can someone validate or tell me if I am missing something:
Removal
-Car on jack stands, remove tires
-Let differential hang
-Remove shocks
-Remove u-bolts
-Jack up differential and put on jack stands
-remove leaf springs
Installation
-Install leaf springs (do I leave hand tight for later, or torque down?)
-Remove jack stands from differential and lower differential
-Install u-bolts (been told to hand tighten)
-Install shocks
-Raise car and remove jack stands
-Lower car and torque u-bolts
-
