Re: '72 Cheyenne K10

Spring shackles arrived today so I put the new driver side spring in. I noticed the springs were slightly longer on one end, so I called Tuff Country to make sure I put them in correctly. That turned out to be a mistake. They told me to put them in wrong, and the wheel ended up way too far forward. I compared to the old spring which I should have done in the first place, and found that the spring was definitely in backwards. So I took it all apart and put it back in correctly. Happy with the wheel placement now, but I really do not like to do things twice. I'm surprised the ride height is a little lower than the old springs and blocks, but I like it as long as it doesn't settle too much lower.

Another disappointment from Tuff Country is the ubolts which are too long. The same customer service rep gave me the part number. I guess I can cut them down, but I bought new thinking it would save time and be the exact right part.
