    I purchased and installed toytecs new boss leaf pack, but I'm not sure which way of the spring should point forward. One end of the spring has a weird bend while the other end is straight. Can someone take a look at the pics and let me know if it's correct?

    Thanks

    If you look at the center pin that locates the rear axle pads it is offset in one direction. I am pretty sure that the longer side of the leaf is supposed to go to the rear of the truck. Someone hopefully can confirm or say otherwise.

    You have them installed correct,as in the pictures. The second leaf should wrap under the front of the spring.

    thanks for the responses.

    I didn't have a tape on me when I installed it. I used a piece of rope to measure the distance between each eye and the center-pin, but I found the two distances to be the same. It could be because I didn't have a tape to really measure the different lengths, but maybe the difference lengths only apply to the 1st gen.
