Just got back in town and there were some good stuff waiting for me. The 04-06 fuel bucket is massive compared to what I have. Should make for a great double pump bucket. I still need an 04-06 tank to install the Holley manifold and fuel system but it will be **** when it's done. I'll tackle the assassin bars first

Stupid question I know, but do you guys usually reclamp the middle leaf after installing the assassin bars? Since it has to be cut and the factory clamp is right on the end of the spring, I can't imagine I should leave it unclamped.. What is everyone doing?

Cut it right before that clamp so I didnt have to touch the clamp.

Dafuq? I think you posted the wrong pic. The factory clamp is right on the end of the middle leaf so it has to be cut out. Not sure what you mean..

I took the leaf spring off the truck. Slid the middle leaf back 2 inches and redrilled the centering pin.

That is what i did was buy a set of leafs. I replaced all the rubber bushings with poly ones when i had them out. Just make sure you drill those leafs really really slow so it doesnt burn up the bit.
