Thumbs up Cal-Tracs are on, I am fugging happy

Just finished putting them on, crazy enough, figured out how to do it without dropping the tank.. A long offset wrench, a lil duct tape did the trick.. Other then that lil delay, a few brews, having to notch the hangers, it went smooth.. I went ahead and removed my over load spring, so It will sit a tad lower, could pos help in hooking a lil better.. Thanks all for there info, help... Unfortuanatly (sp) it is raining, so I won't be able to test, but this week will..

Do you still have a gap on top of the leaf spring or are you trying to pre-load the caltrac? Pics

The roller pin on the pass side is loaded where it doesn't spin, the driver side bar can't be back up any further to get that roller to stop. It can still be spun by hand, not easily when there are people in the truck.. If the bars were shorter it would allow me to adjust it out further, with out that nut hitting the bracket.. I hope you can understand that, its kinda hard to word.. I will get some pics of the prob soon, well not really a prob but...
