    So i had the real leaf and u bolt put in yesterday and i think they were installed backwards. the rear wheel looks to be a little far back in the wheel well and the bump stop does not strike in the center of the pad on the frame. I'm running an all pro pack. i just want to confirm that this is the side that goes to the front of the truck.

    just by measuring to the center point the rear is about 28inches long from pine to the bolt center of shackle and the font measurement is about 28 inches long if it were flipped i think that extra inch will center the bump stop and wheel. Some pics how it sits right now

    Yes that top pic is the front. i have had the allpro expo's on my rig for a year and a half so either your springs are backwards or mine are:eek:. they should have been marked FRONT on the front side.

    They look backwards to me, the half anti axle wrap leaf should be towards the front

    They probably switch it cuz they thought brake cables can clamp to the roller things but on mine it's just hanging.

    okay thank you! thats what i thought too just wanted to be sure before i called them to have then switch it. normally i would have done them myself but is well over 110 degrees here and honestly didn't want to deal with it. way too hot out side to be working on anything.
