    Same process, but you dont have to take the leaf pack apart. Just the U bolts. It goes under the Over Load spring, on the axel.

    If you have 1/2" of thread on your U bolts, you should be fine. Without being there to see the shim, and how long your U bolts currently are, its hard for me to tell.
