Re: Leaf spring to bump stop dimensions

Unless you really know what you are doing, stop messing with the steering box adjustments. If you have a lot of play in the box, it is probably time for a rebuilt unit. Make sure the box is not moving on the frame itself, mounting bolts should be grade 8 and torqued down to 75 lbs. Check the rag joint where the column attaches. The factory springs can be rebuilt by a spring shop unless you want to lift the vehicle for a larger tire than 33. My 4x tow truck came with a 4 leaf spring pack. You may look into that when getting the springs rebuilt.
