I broke down the new 3/4ton springs. They are U.S. made but they need to come up with a better rust preventative. They were coated with what looked like dried Cosmoline. They would not budge and even when I took the centering bolt out they slowly pulled apart from the "stuff". I then removed all the extra "stuff" and gave each leaf a nice layer of Lithium. I then reassembled the pack and now they move freely.

First time its sitting on the new springs and axles. The picture is a bit deceiving but its sitting level right now. I am hoping the front will settle a bit more or maybe take the HD leaf out fo the front. I need the rear to sit about a 1-2" higher so it levels off when i build the interior and add the rear bumper. The rear has the 1" zero rates I made.
Looks good though dont it?:woot:

Our 20lb Co2 tank mount did not have any way of being secure. So to prevent it from ever walking off I made a simple padlock ring through the handle.
HINT: the washer I used was a left over u-bolt washer and those are like 3/16" thick.
This was just a "kill time" project while I wait for the parts store to get in more calipers so I can pick and choose. and for those wondering what I am talking about
"Another friggin delay. Both of the calipers I got leak at the washer. Upon further inspection I noticed at the banjo bolt on the caliper body, one barely has the sealing rings and the other HAD NO RINGS at all! I would hit the brakes and loose a shot glass worth right onto the floor.
I'll post up pick on this later. there is not reason these should have made it past QC."
