8 3/4 swap question
Just an update.. showed up this morning and crawled under it.. took measurements and they were the right bolts, right plates, and the diameter of the tube was just slightly bigger than the other side..
The idea I came up with was to set the bolts on it and push the plate up to the bolts while the holes still lined up.. put the nuts on the bolts, used a rubber hammer to knock them down and into place on the axle tube..
Then ran into problems putting the shocks on. At the time it didn’t dawn on me to knock the top sleeve out of the eyelet.. the mounting stud is the same size for top and bottom.. so I thought I had the wrong ones but I didn’t.. so all that’s left is to knock that sleeve out and put the shocks on..
Progress pics.. BBL complete… no more saggy rear
