From All-Pros site:


Rear Leaf Springs

When mounting the rear springs it will be necessary to cut off all 4 rear spring hangers. The front ones can not be reused after they have been removed and two new hangers are included with the kit. These front hangers should be installed 6" forward of the original hangers. Measure from the center of the old hanger eye to the center of the new hanger eye. In the rear, the shackle hanger can be cut off with a die grinder. Be careful not to cut into the frame or hanger, only cut the weld between them. Move the hanger back 1.5-2.5" back (depending on desired shackle angle) and tack weld in place. We recommend that the spring and shackle hangers be tack welded in place and the truck placed on the ground to verify shackle angle and axle position. If you are installing new springs we recommend you add 300 lbs of weight to the bed of the truck for this test to simulate the spring height that will result after the springs have had a chance to settle. The springs will settle in after your first hard trail run or about one month of regular driving.


When doing the finish welding on these mounts weld both sides of the hanger as well as filling the slots cut into the bottom of the hanger. It may be necessary to remove the fuel tank to fully weld the right side hanger

Always mount springs with the military style double wrap eye to the front of the truck.

P.S. This is a very calm and quite BB, so QUIT YOUR FUGGING YELLING!!!!!!!
