I have the 3.5 inch suspension lift kit from Tom's. I have the front all done. I am on the rear. I have the rear leaf springs hung and I am about to attach the axle, but my kit came with like 4-6 pieces of odd shaped metal pieces. And I have no clue where they go or what they do. I do have the two shims that I assume mount in between axle and leaf spring to give the axle the correct angle. But these other pieces of metal I have no clue about. Was wondering if anyone on here has come across this kit and knows what I am talking about?? Trying to figure out where they go.

Thanks

Is this the kit that you purchased?

If so you are correct on the shims. There are also upper and lower shock mounts ( just looking at the picture). Other than that I would need to see the parts or pictures of the pieces yo be of more assistance.

Good luck.

You have to be a contributor ($12/year) to upload and post pics directly, otherwise you can use a third party picture hosting site or someone can post them for you.
