Started fitting the Hell Creek springs ...
The new springs are quite a bit longer than the old ones
They also droop much further.I had to remove the shocks to get the axle onto the springs. New shocks are definately on the cards ...
All done
I started the rear ...
.. but ran into a snag with the shackle plates. I had earlier model shackles in the rear but I didn't want to go the custom bushes route again. I managed to find a set of later model greasable pins that fit on the threaded holes in the plates. The non-threaded holes just needs to be drilled 2mm bigger. Unfortunately my biggest drill-bit was still 1mm to small,so tomorrow I will go shopping again
